Community & Events
Good Work,
Beyond The Shop.
Forty-plus years in Gainesville have taught us one thing: the shop is only as strong as the community around it. This is where we share the partnerships, sponsorships, and stories that grow out of that.
Community & Events
Built In Gainesville.
For Gainesville.
Lorenzo's Gator Paint & Body believes good work extends beyond the shop. From community partnerships and school sponsorships to automotive culture and future events, we're proud to support the people, programs, and hometown traditions that continue to shape Gainesville.
Schools & Athletics
Sponsoring local programs, refinishing helmets and equipment, and showing up for the teams that make Friday nights matter.
Community Partnerships
Working alongside neighborhood organizations and hometown causes that keep Gainesville looking out for its own.
Automotive Culture
Restoration spotlights, community car showcases, and football-weekend features celebrating the rides that roll through town.
Craftsmanship Education
Trade and mentorship opportunities — passing the torch to the next generation of body, paint, and restoration pros.

Featured stories
From The Bay & Around Town
A rotating set of features — restorations we're proud of, partnerships we've been part of, and the people behind them. Real stories will replace these placeholders as we publish them.
Sponsorship
Helmets back on the field
A behind-the-scenes look at what goes into refinishing a youth-league set of helmets — strip, repair, basecoat, clear — ready for kickoff.
Restoration spotlight
From driveway find to Sunday driver
A Gainesville-owned classic gets the full frame-off treatment. Documenting the build, the decisions, and the moments that make a restoration feel personal.
Around town
Saturdays in the bay
Open-house energy, coffee on the bench, and the rides that pull up unannounced. The shop floor is a community space too.
Partnerships
Where We Show Up
We try to keep our involvement quiet and consistent rather than loud. Here's a look at the kinds of partnerships we lean into year after year.
Local schools
Quietly supporting classrooms, programs, and student-athletes across Alachua County.
Youth athletics
Equipment refinishing, sideline sponsorships, and showing up when teams need a hand.
Hometown initiatives
Lending the shop, the trucks, or the talent to projects that keep Gainesville Gainesville.
Trade mentorship
Opening the doors to anyone curious about body, paint, and restoration as a craft and a career.
