Chris Cruz Artistry

Chris Cruz Artistry is a painter in DeLand, FL, specializing in custom airbrush work on automotive, motorcycle, marine, and aircraft projects. Operating from a 5,000-square-foot custom paint shop, the business has been serving customers for over 30 years, producing a wide range of "Art on Wheels" that has traveled internationally. The work covers everything from simple lettering on helmets to elaborate show paint jobs, with the shop set up to accommodate motor homes, large sport boats, and small aircraft. The business holds a rating of 4.90.

The shop was originally started in Buckingham County, Virginia, where Chris Cruz's family immigrated from the Philippines in the late 1960s before relocating to DeLand, Florida, in 1986. Chris moved the business to its current location in 1997 to gain the space needed for larger projects. The shop itself is described as a real working custom paint shop rather than a polished showroom, and the focus is placed on ensuring every customer feels comfortable, respected, and understood regardless of project size. Chris works alongside a team to deliver high-gloss, pristine finishes on every piece that leaves the shop. Contact is available by phone at 386-734-3000 or by email at [email protected].

The shop sits on Parade Circle, about a tenth of a mile from North Woodland Boulevard and a fifth of a mile from International Speedway Boulevard. George Marks Elementary School is roughly nine-tenths of a mile away, and the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum is about a mile from the location.
