Catalyst Restorations
There's new life waiting under that rust. You are the catalyst to make it a reality.
Q: "Why don't you use a sandblaster to remove paint and rust? It's so much faster!"
Q: "Why don't you use powder coating for painting? It's much more durable!"
A: Catalyst Restorations makes restorations fun and accessible to *anyone* with some basic tools and a little bit of space looking to start their own restoration projects. You don't need a $10,000 workshop to do your own restorations! Restorations are meant to bring something back to life to be used or played with again, not just for museum pieces.
New videos monthly.
