Auto Body Repairs on Lexus with 3-Stage Pearl Paint

2019 Lexus ES300h before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
A brand new Lexus ES300h came to us for collision repairs. We replaced the hood, bumper, headlamps, radiator, A/C condenser, cooling fan, collision avoidance sensor and damaged structural components. The car has a beautiful 3-stage "candy" paint job (also called tri-coat paint.) These type paints look dramatic because 3 different paint processes are used to add depth, shimmer and highlights. The extra paint steps also mean that the paint is much more difficult to match and takes a very skilled painter.

Mustang Complete Paint Job

The grey areas are where the original paint had fallen off this Ford Mustang.
Mustangs are dream cars for a lot of people but this one looked more like a nightmare. The paint had been peeling for years. Which was sad because except for the paint, the car was like new. It had incredibly low miles and the interior was in great shape. So we stripped off all of the bad paint, removed the spoiler so we could paint under and around it, applied a new coat of primer-sealer, and then repainted the entire car.

1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo Bumper Paint

1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo Collision Repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
I always wanted one of these cars--the legendary, iconic Nissan 300ZX Turbo. A month after we completed a restoration and overall paint job on this car, the rear bumper got damaged in an accident. The bumper was replaced and we matched the paint to the rest of the car.

2005 Acura TSX Repaint

Peeling paint on Acura TSX before paint job at Almost Everything Auto Body.

This Acura would be a handsome and sporty commuter if it wasn't for the paint. The vehicle owner had us respray the entire car. He decided not to fix some minor dings & dents (his objective was to make the car look presentable while keeping costs to a minimum. He chose our least expensive Enamel paint.

Bumper Scrapes--We Hate Them Too!

Scrape from parking lot hit & run before bumper repair at Almost Everything Auto Body.
Today's 2016 Ford Fusion Energi needed some bumper love after someone (let's call them "Inconsiderate Villain") scraped it in a parking lot and failed to leave a note. We helped the owner get her car looking good as new again. The cost was low enough that she decided not to involve her insurance company so she could avoid a rate increase!

Would You Drive 100 Miles to get Work Done on Your Car?

2004 Honda Civic before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.

We are always grateful (and sometimes astonished) at the distances some of our customers drive to work with us. This car was driven from Elk Grove, over 100 miles from us. The customer had done a lot of repairs himself and wanted us to just paint the car. We were happy to oblige. The customer chose our economical Enamel paint and to his credit, the results were quite good!
