Motor Trend Stages "World's Greatest Drag Race IV"

Enough of collision repairs and car paint nuances--let's spend a few minutes with some really cool, really fast cars, some of which we can afford and some priced in the stratosphere.



Thanks to our buddies at Motor Trend for sending us an e-mail announcing this year's results.

2000 BMW 528i Paint Job and Headlight Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2000 BMW 528i.  This Mid-Sized luxury sedan came to our shop as an old, faded, crusty looking commuter.  We brought this Bavarian back by first; Sanding all of the old areas with chipping and peeling paint down to a smooth, even, paintable level. Next up we sealed the surfaces with a Primer, and finally Painted the car using our "Single Stage Enamel" paint in BMW's original "Schwarz" black!

1993 Jeep Wrangler Restored!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Jeep Wrangler. This little off road machine came to our shop peeling, old, and crusty looking. The car's owner didnt want to spend his life savings on a rediculously priced paintjob on his old car. He was in the market for something fair-priced, and that looked great. He decided to bring the Jeep down to us where we applied our "Urethane Single Stage" paint in the car's original color after we completed some heavy sanding

2007 Ford Escape Ex-Taxi Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid that belongs to Mr. John Sollars. This ex-fleet vehicle came into our shop looking still like an active taxi. Since driving around in a taxi looking vehicle can be frowned upon by people in need of immediate transportation, the car's owner decided to have us paint his Escape jet black using our "Enamel Single Stage" paint!

1999 Mazda Miata Race Car Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Mazda Miata.  This agressive little track monster came to our shop shiny, yet weathered and tattered from lots of fun track days.  Not wanting his race car to look like such a...race car the owner and driver of this machine came to us with Two requests; Make the car shiny again, and keep the price low.  We met both of those requests with our Enamel Single stage paint, using the car's original color!

1986 Nissan D21 Pickup Painted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Nissan D21 "Hardbody" pickup truck.  This old work horse came to our shop looking terrible! its paint had failed years ago, leaving the truck looking dry, old and crusty. Since these pickups are known to be bulletproof and will run for eternity, its owner decided to bring it to us, where we sanded, primed and painted the truck using a high quality, yet still affordable paint in the truck's original color!

2004 Acura TL Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Acura TL.  This luxurious sedan came to our shop with...decent paint! Its owner decided that he wanted BMW's "Estoril Blue" color on his car for years to come.  He dropped off the car to us and we sanded all of the rock chips, scratches and blemishes out of the old paint. Once we were satisfied with our sanding, we applied a primer sealer to provide the new paint a surface to bond to. Finally the car was ready for paint, we refinished the TL using one of our premium "Base Coat, Clear Coat" paints in the Estoril Blue color that the cars owner requested!
