2005 Mazda Miata- Overall Paint Job

 This customer brought in his 2005 Mazda Miata for an overall paint job. We also replaced the driver side window regulator, and rear bumper cover. The customer decided to go with our Two Stage Urethane Base Coat/Clear Coat paint. We also sanded out any minor chips and scratches around the car and the delaminating paint on the top of the car. First we replaced the window regulator to avoid scratching fresh paint. After we started the sanding process, once everything was completed we masked off anything that was not being painted the same color of the car, and it was ready for paint! Looks like a brand new car!

2011 Mazda Mazda3- Overall paint job

 This customer brought in his 2011 Mazda Mazda3 for an overall paint job. He decided on the delaminating (peeling) paint sanding to remove any texture that would effect the longevity of the fresh paint. The customer chose the Urethane single stage paint with a Urethane sealer. Once the vehicle was done with prep, masking and of course paint it came out looking like a "brand new" car! The customer was happy with the results and so are we!

2017 Mazda 6- Overall paint job and Color change

 This customer brought in his 2017 Mazda6 for an overall paint job and a color change. He decided on using our Enamel+UV protection Single-Stage paint with a Basic sealer. The customer also decided on correcting the minor chips and scratches around the car to make sure it doesn't show up through the new paint. It was decided by the customer to change the exterior color to Sherwin Williams 31414 "Gloss Green". For the finishing touches we installed customer supplied headlights and they look amazing!

Mazda 3 Bumper Repair

Mazda 3 with crushed bumper & 3-stage Soul Red paint before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
Mazda 3 bumper was crushed in a parking lot incident. We replace the bumper and a broken reflector. This Mazda has a premium, 3-stage paint that is hard to match. Even in the "before" photos you can see that the original bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car. In these situations we recommend blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels to better hide this color mis-match. Or, as this customer chose, you can keep cost lower if you are able to tolerate a slight color difference.

Before:
Mazda 3 color mis-match on 3-stage Soul Red paint before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
Note original slight color mis-match on rear bumper cover at the time the customer dropped off the vehicle. Bumpers can often be a slightly different color than the rest of the car due to differences in plastic vs. metal parts. This difference is even greater on 3-stage (also called "tri-stage" or "candy") paints.

Before:
Mazda 3 bumper damage with 3-stage Soul Red paint before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
In Process:

After:

Matt Cresci's Mazda Miata Race Car

Matt Cresci Spec Miata at speed, painted at Almost Everything Auto Body.

Our friend Matt Cresci sent us a photo this week (via Yelp!) of the car we repaired & painted for him back in March 2016.

Matt commented, "Took my 1990 Spec Miata Racecar to get a full paint job and some quarter panel bodywork at Almost Everything. Frank was straightforward, reliable, and to the point. They color matched my desired color (BMW Imola Red) and it looks fantastic. The rear quarter panel repair was also very impressive, as they made my abnormal, basketball sized dent disappear completely, which I know was no easy task. One of the body shop guys even helped me load the car back on the trailer once it was ready for pickup (little things count too!)

"I got the car painted much earlier in the year (March 2016), but waited to post my review so that

    1. I had a good picture to share to accurately demonstrate AE's work
    2. I could judge paint quality over time

"And sure enough, it still looks great today. Very happy, and look forward to bringing some other cars of mine here in the future."

Thanks, Matt. We think it would look even better with some "Almost Everything" decals on it.

Here's what it looked like while it was at the shop:

Reviving Old 2-Tone Cars

2-Tone vehicle repainted in single color at Almost Everything Auto Body.

In the 1980s and 1990s two-tone cars were all the rage and showed that a vehicle was a premium model. Multiple colors on a car takes more material and labor. So it naturally costs more. But what do you do when one of these 20-30 year old cars needs to be repainted? Options include repainting both colors, repainting only the top color which is often more faded, painting only the bottom color which can be more prone to scrapes, or repainting the entire car in just one color. Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Mazda MPV that was faded & peeling on top and scraped on the bottom. So both of the 2-tone colors had problems. The owner decided to paint the entire vehicle one color to save money and recover a vehicle that still drove well but looked a mess.

Before:
2-Tone vehicle with peeling paint & scrapes all around.

After:
2-Tone vehicle repainted in only 1 color to keep costs within budget.
