BAPS Auto Paints & Supply

BAPS Auto Paints & Supply BAPS’ mission is to provide customer service to the coatings industry through integrity, knowledge, a R.F. Raymond F. and Robert Berkheimer.

Berkheimer & Sons originated in 1961 as a painting contractor that targeted commercial, industrial, and residential business. Berkheimer, being principal owner had two of his children working for him, Ray W. In 1966 they decided to incorporate, and each own one third, equal shares. In 1977 Raymond retired, leaving his sons the opportunity to purchase his share of the corporation and continue on wi

th the family business. After twelve years of experience, and knowing the physical labor involved in this broad spectrum of the painting business, Ray and Robert started to consider a new avenue of business. Automotive paint was suggested, and Ray and Robert then contacted PPG Industries. PPG then researched RF Berkheimer & Sons and was impressed with the credibility of the company and wanted to invest their products in them, to become a PPG distributor. In February 1979, the York location of BAPS Auto Paint & Supply was originated. That day the phone did ring, once, for one quart of paint to go to Quigley Motor Company in Manchester. Within a few years the automotive paint industry had really started to develop for them, which allowed them to expand and open a Lemoyne location in July 1985, to service the greater Hbg. area, and also a Chamb. location in March 1993. Since then we have been blessed to be able to continue to grow and now have 11 stores spread out from Massachusetts down to Virginia.

This week we brought together many of our Customer Support Specialists from across the company at our Virginia Beach store for some hands-on training.

Led by our Suffolk Store Manager Todd and our Tech Rep Joe, the team got real experience with one-hour dent repairs. From PPE and body filler to sanding, primer, base coat, and clear coat, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. For many, this was their first time using these tools and techniques, and they crushed it!

We’re incredibly proud of the effort, focus, and willingness to learn that everyone showed throughout the training. It’s exciting to see our team continue to grow their skills and expand their knowledge.

A big thank you to Joe and Todd for sharing their expertise and guiding the team every step of the way. 👏

And another huge thank you to our Regional Operations Managers, Chad and James, for organizing the chaos, making sure everyone was well fed, and planning some fun for the evenings!

Looking forward to the next one!

We’re proud to officially announce the completion of the BAPS conversions across all Ciocca locations!

This has been a journey that started many months ago, and through tireless effort, detailed planning, and true dedication, it turned into a great success. There were definitely a few sleepless nights, some heartburn, and even a couple of IT hurdles along the way—but in the end, the BAPS and PPG team did what we do best… we delivered.

A special thank you goes out to Jon Oestereich, Matt Thomas, Kyler Wood, Lauren Keilholtz, and the Lemoyne team for going above and beyond. From building computer cabinets, driving 26’ trucks, assembling mixing tables on their own time, to organizing toners by T number—your hard work behind the scenes made all the difference.

We truly appreciate everyone who played a role in making this happen. Excited to share the finished product and proud of what this team accomplished together!

Because in our world, it’s more than just paint—it’s precision, protection, and pride in every finish.
Where color meets craftsmanship, and every mix tells a story.
From primer to clear coat, excellence is built layer by layer.

Latest update on Austin!

Latest update on Austin!

Austin update:

Austin is working so hard and his faith in Christ shines through this challenging trial. He told me the other night, that everyday is hard, everyday is a hurdle but he feels that God is going to fully heal him. I feel that too🙌🏼 power of prayer! He feels that he is the same person as he was before his injury but his body isn’t working the way he wants it to. It will take time, all in Gods timing. Austin had an eye appointment last week to figure out what he can see and what we can do for his vision. They feel he has no vision in his right eye but his retina is still attached. That gives us hope that he could heal and have vision back someday. God works in mysterious ways! We are waiting to hear back from another Neuro-eye Doctor to get more opinions and what our options are for him. Austin is staying very positive with this whole injury, what a blessing just for me as his wife to see because I try to stay positive for him but with his positive attitude it makes taking care of him-such a joy. Seeing the one you married and the one you love so much go through such a hard time is hard to watch. Seeing Austin push through, work hard, show kindness and determination…makes me so confidently sure I married the right man. What a strong Godly man for our sons to see and watch their Dad work hard and lean into God for strength. Thank you Jesus for Austin, thank you God for opportunities to glorify You and thank you for Austin’s beautiful personality. Austin has OT and PT therapy 2 times a week that helps him relearn daily life tasks. He still sits in his wheelchair 90%of the day but he doesn’t wanna. If you know Austin and saw him working at Dottie’s, that man never stopped moving. Ran around that Dottie’s property doing all the things! So he has a desire to get back and get moving. 🙌🏼 I felt bad, I had not updated anyone on Austin’s recovery in many weeks. With the holidays, time was focused on family and keeping things going. I was reading through John this morning and I felt this spoke to me… “But the Counselor,the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.' I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.

Do not find peace in anything other than The Father. Do not find that temporary peace the world gives. The world does not love you, it fails but Yahweh never fails! Thank you God for love, thank you Jesus for salvation and thank you Holy Spirit for comfort.

Thank you to all whole care so much for our family! Thank you for your continued prayers!
