Built to a High Gloss: Stockwell Finishes Brings Meticulous Paint Work to Lane County
Justin Stockwell opened his automotive refinishing shop in 2022 with a specialty that few shops anywhere attempt: candy paint jobs and full rotisserie restorations.
The Work
Stockwell Finishes is an automotive refinishing business that opened in April of 2022. The shop focuses on restorations, including full frame-off, rotisserie-style builds, and it leans heavily into graphic work and candy paint jobs, a finish type that demands exceptional patience and skill.
The Craft
Ask Stockwell what part of the job he loves most and the answer comes quickly: the polishing stage. After all the prep, the primer, the color and the clear, the car finally reveals itself as the gleaming object it was always meant to become.
“I love making things that people are excited to see.”

Rooted Here
Stockwell grew up in the area and has since lived in Utah, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles before returning. The pace of life here is what drew him back, along with a shop complex where neighboring businesses look out for one another.
A Place Worth Staying
Amazon Park gets a genuine mention in Stockwell's telling, not as scenery but as the specific place where his son first rode without training wheels. That kind of detail says something about what it means to be embedded in a community rather than just passing through it.
