Chad Woodard, our in-house paint specialist, has been a true artist since childhood. Through the years he has evolved from the elementary art award winner to tattooist and then finally Automotive Customs. Some of his specialties are portraits, true fire, and textured special effects like rain and realistic metals.



His passion for airbrushing was sparked by seeing Mike Lavalee transform an ordinary hot rod into a flaming inferno. It was then that he purchased his first Iwata airbrush. Since that time he has been creating art on everything that stood still long enough to paint. His skill was evident in every piece; mailboxes, license plates, PC cases, and various sheets of metal.



His first vehicle was the family lawn tractor and then a Dodge Avenger. Both were wreathed in realistic fire, and in just months he graduated to painting motorcycles and other vehicles at a local stereo and customs shop. His work load skyrocketed! He had a backlog of objects to paint; amplifiers, license plates, hot rods, and motorcycles to name a few. However he still wasn't satisfied. His goal was to take high end vehicles to the next level and at Yenko-Wildfire, Chad is doing just that.



His dream was answered when he joined the team at Yenko-Wildfire. Here he continues his one of a kind art on some of the worlds most sought after vehicles. Be it a 1930 Ford Model A, a 1953 Corvette, or a Harley- Davidson, Chad treats every client’s obsession like his own. If you can fly it, drive it, sail it, push it or pull it, Chad can adorn it with a one-of-a-kind body. The possibilities are only limited to your imagination.
