Collision repair, custom paint, and fabrication in Hayward
Palladium is an independent collision and custom paint shop in Hayward, California. We repair everyday vehicles and some of the most significant cars in the Bay Area, and both get the same standard: repaired to the manufacturer's procedure, with the materials the manufacturer specifies, and finished to match the factory. Every project is completed in-house and carries a lifetime written warranty.

After an accident
Collision Repair
Insurance-direct collision and structural repair. Your car is straightened on a Global Jig bench and rebuilt to the manufacturer's procedure, then matched to the factory color. If a carrier pushes a cheaper part or an off-book shortcut, we document it and make the case for you.

Custom Paint & Fabrication
Full repaints, color changes, restoration work, and fabrication. We color-match across steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, and fiberglass in the Glasurit and PPG systems, three-stage and matte finishes included. This is the department that developed a Lamborghini STO color the factory later matched for production.

Peelclear Finish
A waterborne, peelable finish. You can change it or strip it off later, and the factory paint underneath is left untouched. It is its own category, separate from vinyl wraps and paint protection film. Add a color, or keep it clear.

Fleets and collections need a different process than a single repair. If one of these is you, start there instead.

Which service do you need?
Which service do I need?
If the car was in an accident or has body damage, that is collision repair. A repaint, a color change, restoration, or fabrication is custom paint. A color or protective finish you can peel off later, without harming the factory paint, is Peelclear. When you are not sure, call and describe the car, and we will point you to the right one.
Do you work with my insurance?
Yes, for collision work. You choose the shop, and under California law that choice is yours. We are insurance-direct: the claim and the rental are coordinated for you, and your car is repaired to the manufacturer's procedure. We will not sign off on a cheaper part or an off-book shortcut a carrier tries to require. There is more on your rights on our Know Your Rights page.
Do you offer paintless dent repair, detailing, or vehicle wraps?
A small dent, a detail, or added protection is handled as part of a larger job. Every service includes a complimentary detail on delivery. For a wrap-style color change or removable protection, Peelclear is our own version of it. Bring the car in and you will hear what fits.
What areas do you serve?
The shop is at 22431 Mission Blvd in Hayward. Customers come from Fremont, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Union City, Oakland, San Jose, and across San Mateo County. Collectors sometimes ship cars in from farther out.
Is your work guaranteed?
Lifetime written warranty, for as long as you own the vehicle. If something Palladium repaired or touched on your car ever fails, we make it right. See the full terms on our warranty page.
