Mark Ashton
Paint Wizard
Batchelors Location: Ripon
Hometown: Pateley Bridge
Mark Ashton isn’t just a Paint Technician—he’s a Paint Wizard, and trust us, there’s real magic in his spray gun. From the quiet beauty of Pateley Bridge to the buzzing workshop floor in Ripon, Mark’s turning scuffs into showstoppers faster than you can say “metallic finish.”
His idea of comfort food? A lasagne stacked higher than his horsepower dreams, or a perfectly cooked steak that sizzles like a V8. And speaking of engines—Mark's personal garage has included legends like a ’68 AMC Javelin SST and a ’55 GMC Panel Van. His dream machine? Either the brutally brilliant Hellcat Charger or the beautifully bonkers Saab 96 2-stroke. Yes, really.
But wait—there’s more. Mark is a 2nd dan black belt in Karate and a former stunt-riding, barrel-racing cowboy. He’s basically a one-man action movie with a paint mask. His dream getaway? Montana, USA, with big skies, open roads, and probably a few muscle cars rumbling in the distance.
He once dreamed of being an F1 pit mechanic—so while he might not be changing tyres at 2.3 seconds, he is giving vehicles a second life with every coat of colour.
