What We Offer
Frame-Off Restorations
For Richardson owners chasing concours-level results, we perform full frame-off, rotisserie restorations - disassembling the vehicle completely so every component down to the bare frame can be restored, repaired, or replaced.
Period-Correct Finishing
Richardson collectors know authenticity drives collector value - that's why we research original colors, materials, and techniques before finishing any restoration.
Classic & Muscle Cars
We take on classic and muscle car restorations for Richardson enthusiasts — recent work includes a customer's Mustang Shelby GT500 replica ("Eleanor") that needed a custom carbon-fiber hood and quarter-panel repair.
Our Process
From initial assessment to final inspection, here's what to expect when you bring your vehicle to Texas Five Star.
Assessment & Planning
We document the vehicle's condition in detail, research its factory-original specifications, and put together a restoration plan before any work begins.
Disassembly
We remove and catalog each component with care, and for full frame-off builds, separate the body from the chassis entirely.
Metalwork & Paint
Rust repair, panel fabrication, bodywork, and application of period-correct or custom paint in our spray booth.

“Texas Five Star Paint and Body did an exceptional (great) job on my car’s collision repair. From drop-off to pickup, the team was meticulous (careful) with every detail — the paint match is flawless and you can’t even tell there was damage. They kept me updated throughout the process and finished on time. Truly a reputable (trustworthy) shop that stands behind its work. Highly recommend to anyone needing collision repair! Ali, our manager, oversees every job. We've been serving Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, and Sachse since 2022, and we stand behind our work with a 5 year paint warranty. Our shop is certified under the State of Texas.”

Auto Restoration FAQ for Richardson Drivers
What types of cars do you restore?
We take on classic and muscle car restorations for Richardson owners, from partial refinishing to full frame-off rebuilds. One recent example: a customer's Mustang Shelby GT500 replica ("Eleanor," from Gone in 60 Seconds) came in for a custom carbon-fiber hood and quarter-panel repair after we caught body work from a previous shop that needed correcting.
How long does a full restoration take?
Timelines vary widely depending on the vehicle's condition and the scope of the build - a partial restoration moves faster than a full frame-off, rotisserie project. We'll map out a specific timeline during your assessment and planning stage.
Do you do partial restorations?
Yes. Not every project needs a full frame-off rebuild - we tailor the scope to your goals, from a driver-quality partial restoration to a full concours-level, ground-up build.
Can you source hard-to-find parts?
Sourcing correct or correct-style components is part of our restoration process for classic and muscle cars, so Richardson owners don't have to hunt down parts themselves.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes — all of our paint and bodywork, including restoration work performed for Richardson customers, is backed by a 5-year paint warranty.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. In Texas, you have the right to choose your own repair shop — your insurance company cannot require you to use one of their recommended shops.
