Lockwood Auto Paint
Lockwood Auto Paint of Kansas City, Missouri. Run by Einar and Ardis, Lockwood custom made their own lines of glamour colors and specialized in Pearls, Candy, Flakes and special effects for the "Boys", as Ardi called her customers. Lockwood made paint for Wild Child's Custom Shop and all the other shops around town that did similar work. Chris Miller delivered paint to small shops, working for his grandparents at the shop. She and his mom Jeanne traded off working for Lockwood's for most of the 30 some years they were in business. When Einar and Ardis retired, they gave all of Einar's custom formulas to James Greene. The formulas were written in a Rolodex file.[1]
