About
Hello, I’m Nick, the founder of Nick The Buffer. I have a lifelong passion for automotive culture and custom paintwork, which has driven me to create and refine my craft from a young age.
Nick The Buffer was born from a desire to build a career rooted in purpose, creativity, and personal pride, rather than solely pursuing financial success at the expense of wellbeing. In 2024, I took the significant step of leaving my full-time role in legal technology in central London to pursue this vision, a decision I have never regretted.
Today, I run Nick The Buffer independently, managing every aspect of the business - from administration and marketing to all custom painting. This hands on approach allows me to maintain complete creative control and ensures that every piece meets the highest standards of quality before it reaches you!
Nick The Buffer Guarantee & Refund Policy.
At Nick The Buffer I offer a lifetime ownership guarantee on all my custom-painted items. This warranty covers issues related to paint adhesion and durability under normal use. However, it does not cover damage caused by expected defects, such as stone chips, or damage caused by user mishandling, improper care, or exposure to harsh conditions beyond normal wear. If a defect arises under covered conditions, the customer is responsible for sending me back the item and I will assess and determine the appropriate resolution. Proper maintenance and care are essential to preserving the quality of your custom painted parts.
Please note, due to the nature of track days, I can not warranty paintwork on custom painted parts for cars going on track. I recommend custom painted parts to be removed (i.e. engine covers) when the car is under high temperature conditions (for example on track) as exceeding regular temperatures can cause clear coat to yellow, and in some extreme cases fail.
