At Colton RV & Marine, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our customers. Not just on the sales side, but long after you’ve driven off the lot or left the dock. That commitment has led to one of our most exciting upgrades yet: a brand new, fully equipped industrial paint booth at our North Tonawanda, New York dealership.
This addition isn’t just about having new equipment, it’s about completely elevating the level of service we provide. From faster turnaround times to more precise color matching and full in-house control, this new paint booth is a huge step forward for our dealership.
Let’s take a closer look at what this means for you.
A Major Upgrade to Our Collision & Repair Capabilities
With the addition of our new industrial paint booth, Colton RV & Marine can now handle more bodywork, paintwork, and gel coat repairs entirely in-house than ever before.
In the past, certain aspects of paint or finish work could require extended timelines due to scheduling and coordination. Now, everything happens under one roof, with our own trained technicians managing every step of the process.
This means:
- More efficient workflows
- Greater attention to detail
- Better communication between departments
- And ultimately, a better final product
Whether you’re bringing in a motorhome with exterior damage, a travel trailer that needs a refresh, or a boat with gel coat wear, our team now has the tools and environment to handle it all right here in North Tonawanda.
What Makes This Paint Booth Different?
This isn’t just any paint booth, it’s a fully industrialized, professional-grade setup designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results on large vehicles like RVs and boats.
Inside the booth, our technicians are able to:
- Control airflow and ventilation for optimal paint application
- Maintain consistent temperature and humidity conditions
- Reduce contaminants like dust and debris
- Ensure even curing and drying of finishes
All of these factors play a huge role in the final appearance and durability of the paint or gel coat. A controlled environment like this eliminates many of the variables that can lead to imperfections, ensuring a smoother, longer-lasting finish.
It also allows our team to work more efficiently, keeping projects moving without unnecessary delays.
Precision Color Matching: Done Right
One of the most important aspects of any paint or gel coat job is getting the color exactly right.
That’s where our dedicated paint mixing room comes into play.
Behind the scenes, this is where our team carefully prepares each color using manufacturer-approved paint systems. Every product we use is designed to match the original specifications of your RV or boat, ensuring a seamless blend with the existing finish.
This level of precision is especially important for:
- Multi-tone RV exteriors
- Custom paint schemes
- Metallic or pearl finishes
- Marine gel coat repairs
Instead of “close enough,” our goal is exact. When your unit leaves our shop, the repaired area should look like it was never damaged in the first place.
Faster Turnaround Times
Let’s be honest, when your RV or boat is in the shop you’re not out making memories. Every extra day waiting for repairs is a day you could be camping, traveling, or out on the water.
That’s why one of the biggest advantages of our new paint booth is speed.
By bringing more of the process in-house, we eliminate the delays that come with outsourcing or waiting on third-party schedules. Our team can move directly from prep work to painting to finishing without interruption.
The result?
- Shorter repair timelines
- Fewer scheduling bottlenecks
- Quicker approvals and adjustments
- And faster delivery back to you
It’s all about getting you back where you belong, on the open road or the open water.
Better Quality Control from Start to Finish
When everything is handled under one roof, quality control improves dramatically.
At Colton RV & Marine, the same team that inspects your unit, performs the repairs, and applies the finish is involved throughout the entire process. That continuity allows for:
- Consistent standards at every stage
- Immediate corrections if something isn’t perfect
- Clear communication across departments
- Greater accountability for the final result
There’s no handoff between outside vendors. No guesswork. No compromises.
Just one experienced team focused on delivering the best possible outcome for your RV or boat.
Built for RVs and Boats Alike
Not all paint work is the same, and RVs and boats each come with their own unique challenges.
Our new paint booth is designed to handle both.
For RV Owners:
We can take care of everything from minor cosmetic fixes to major collision repairs, including:
- Sidewall damage
- Scratches, chips, and fading
- Full-panel repainting
- Decal and finish matching
For Boat Owners:
Marine finishes require a different level of care, especially when it comes to gel coat. Our capabilities now include:
- Gel coat repair and restoration
- Color matching for hulls and topsides
- Surface refinishing
- Protection against environmental wear
No matter what you’re bringing in, our team is equipped to restore it to a condition you’ll be proud of.
Why This Matters for Our Customers
At the end of the day, this upgrade isn’t about us, it’s about you.
Adding a new paint booth directly improves your experience as a Colton RV & Marine customer in several key ways:
1. Less Waiting
Repairs move faster when everything is done in-house.
