THE TEAM

My passion for painting began at a young age, tinkering with slot cars and experimenting with different techniques. At the age of 14, I acquired my first project car, a '66 Honda Scrambler, which I customized with silver flake and blue candy over the next year before trading it for a '68 Triumph Bonneville that I painted a striking red and silver metal flake. Finally, Selling it At the tender age of 16, I was able to sell the Bonneville and with the profits, purchased my first car, a '65 maroon Corvair, which I transformed with a sleek black lacquer finish.

During my high school years, I dedicated my mornings to education and afternoons to autobody school. My talent for painting quickly became evident, and I focused on custom vans and race cars under the guidance of my instructors. After graduating from high school in 1974, I joined my father to open a custom motorcycle shop, where we spent the next five years specializing in custom paintwork for motorcycles, specifically the beloved 1959 Panhead Harley.

In 1978, my wife and I embarked on a new venture and opened an automotive paint store in Olathe, Kansas, known as Duncan Auto Paint. With a high demand for walk-in customer service shops and a passion for the retail business, we were able to evolve and grow our reputation through countless custom paint projects over the next 24 years and eventually changed our name to Bill's Auto Paint and Supply.

Thanks to truly exceptional employees and the unwavering support of my wife, Tony who happily retired two years ago, we were able to raise both of our daughters in the shop.  Now, 45 years later, we are still a family owned and operated business. As I approach the age of 68, I have reduced my workdays to Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the majority of the responsibility has been handed over to our oldest daughter, Brandi, who is also raising her own two sons in the same store! As she continues the family legacy, Brandi has taken on the task of evolving the business again by taking our sales online in order to explore new avenues of growth for the business. The autobody industry has undergone significant changes over the  last few years, and we are eager to embrace the opportunities presented by the online realm. Rest assured, even as I take a step back, I will always be available to answer your questions and provide advice for your projects. Our dedicated employees also possess a wealth of knowledge and are more than willing to assist you.

Our loyal customer base includes auto body shops in both Kansas City, Missouri, as well as industrial and trucking accounts. Moreover, we are the only supplier in the greater Kansas City area that truly caters to the restoration business.

We truly appreciate your trust in us and the decision to invest your hard-earned money in our company. Without you, our loyal customers, we would not be where we are today. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for allowing us to serve you. We look forward to continuing to provide you with exceptional service and products for many years to come.

Warmest regards,
