1991 Cadillac De Ville "Half Paint Job"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Cadillac De Ville, this old luxury car came to our shop faded, peeling, chipped and just overall old looking.  Since this car came from the factory with a "Two Tone" paint scheme, the owner wanted to keep that exact look, but did not want to pay truck loads of his hard earned cash to duplicate it!  We suggested to keep the original lower silver portions in their factory paint, while we repainted just the top metallic blue portions of the car with our Base Coat / Clear Coat paint.  We got this cruiser back to its owner looking just like new again, and even managed to save him some money!

1993 BMW 325i Color Restoration

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 BMW 325i Sedan. This four door Bavarian came to Almost-Everything with its original paint in bad shape. Over the years the sun and natural elements will take their toll on any finish, and after twenty years, it was about time for a new paint job. We began our process by repairing certain areas that the owner specified to fix, such as the passenger side door. Once all of the body work was complete we sanded down all of the old failing paint, masked off all of the cars windows and trim, painted the entire exterior with our Base Coat / Clear Coat paint, and finally baked the new finish on in our oven!

Nissan Altima Spot Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Nissan Altima. This car recently had its front bumper cover, and front left fender replaced, these parts typically do not come painted and will have to be color matched to the rest of the vehicle. We began by scuffing the bumper cover and fender to roughen them so the new paint could "bite", sealed the fresh surfaces with a primer sealer, and finally finished the parts with the original type of base-coat/clear-coat paint!

1999 Audi A4 Color Restoration

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Audi A4. This car came to us with alot of peeling/delaminating paint, which we repaired by sanding and "feathering" the rough edges of the failed clear coat so that they became smooth. Next we layed down the foundation for the new paint, we sealed the smooth sanded surface with a primer which gives the new paint something to "bite" onto. Lastly we refinished the entire outside of the car with our Performance Base Coat-Clear Coat paint!

Acura TL Color Match

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2002 Acura TL type-s. This car was prepped by the owner due to lots of old, failing paint. Once the owner was satisfied with his sanding work, he dropped the car off for us to paint. We refinished the Hood and Roof back to the factory blue color and had this TL looking like new again!

Flat Black Friday

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. This particular car was the victim of vandalisim, the entire car was "keyed" leaving deep gouges in nearly every panel on the outside of the car! We repaired this problem by first sanding and "feathering" the deep gouges, a process that blends rough edges so they become smooth making them invisible beneath the new paint. Next we applied a sealer primer to the freshly sanded surface to seal it and provide a good foundation for the new paint to stick to. Finally we finished the car with a "Two Tone" paint job---Flat Black on the sides and a Gloss Black on the top! Dont forget to stop by and check out our incredible Black Friday paint specials the week of 11/19/2012-11/24/2012!!!

1996 Impala SS

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, this "Four Door Corvette" was restored by us to its factory cherry color and we removed a couple of dents along the way. The trunk and rear bumper were in pretty rough shape, we took care of the delaminating paint and repaired the significantly sized dent in the decklid. We finished this modern classic with our base coat / clear coat paint creating a smoother factory-like texture.
