Mike’s Custom Paint & Body reached a major milestone this past Wednesday, November 5th, celebrating 50 years of serving Paris, Texas, North Texas, and Southeast Oklahoma.
What began in 1975 as Mike Herron repairing cars in a small barn beside his home has grown into one of the region’s most trusted collision repair and custom paint facilities. By 1986, the business became his full-time calling, ultimately expanding into the advanced North Main location customers recognize today.
“For five decades, we’ve been blessed to do what we love and help the people who have supported us from the very beginning,” said founder Mike Herron. “We’re proud of how far we’ve come — from that little barn to where we are now — and we’re grateful for every customer who trusted us with their vehicle along the way.”
For 50 years, Mike’s Custom Paint & Body has taken pride not just in repairing vehicles, but in caring for the people who drive them — guiding customers through insurance claims, assisting with rentals, and treating everyone like family. That family-first foundation continues today, with Mike, his wife Vanessa, and their children working together to carry forward a legacy built on quality, honesty, and community.
Reaching this milestone stands as a testament to the loyalty of generations of customers and the dedication of a hometown business that continues to put people first.
Here’s to 50 years of service — and the many more miles ahead.
