Ramone's House of Body Art is a custom body and paint shop in Radiator Springs, owned and operated by Ramone in Disney/Pixar's Cars franchise. Ramone is an artist – a true magician with paint and metal. There was a time when his only canvas was himself; he repainted himself daily. Later, when Lightning McQueen helped put Radiator Springs back on the map, Ramone has had his share of customers, including the star race car himself. Before heading off to the World Grand Prix, Lightning stops by Ramone's for a new paint job, and Ramone gives him a whole new look, even adding a spoiler to him.

When Lightning McQueen helped put Radiator Springs back on the map, Ramone has had his share of customers – including the star race car himself. Four years after Lightning's timely arrival, the equipment in the shop was upgraded so that Ramone could not only give cars new paint jobs, but also repair cars after Doc Hudson's untimely passing.
