USA FireGold specializes in restoring the gold leaf decoration on antique fire engines. I work with restorers and collectors to reproduce the decoration on antique fire apparatus.
Great care is taken to accurately document and research each piece's unique designs.
23 karat gold is hand applied. Scrollwork, lettering and pinstripes are painted on in the traditional manner of the original craftsmen. In 1972 I began my career in a shop that restored antique cars. The phase of the restoration process that I enjoyed the most was the detail painting, pinstriping, and lettering. This led me into the sign painting profession.
