1990 GMC Pickup Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 GMC Pick-Up Truck. This old hauler came to our shop looking pretty beat. Its original paint had been fading and peeling over the last couple of years and its owner decided to sand all of the unsighty failing paint down. After a car is sanded, it will need paint especially if there are bare metal spots. We prepped the truck with our "Basics" package, Cleaning the body with a chemical to remove any road contaminants clinging to the paint, a "Scuff" with an abrasive hand pad, and masking all of the windows, lights and trim pieces. After the prep was completed, we refinished the Chevy with a "Single Stage" paint!

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Peeling Paint Problem

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. This car came to our shop with lots of peeling or "delaminating" paint clinging to its body. Before we could apply a shiny new paint to it, the old paint had to come off.  We began by sanding down all of the old peeling clear coat, smoothing the surfaces down to an even "non-peely" level. Once the car was smooth we applied a primer sealer to the panels to protect the freshly sanded surface and to provide a fresh even colored base for the new paint to "bite" onto. Finally the car was ready for its new paint job. We refinished this Chevy with our Enamel paint in its original color, Black. We have painted thousands of cars from all over the Bay Area, many of them with this same "Peeling" problem! Call us for an appointment or just stop by our shop for a free estimate on fixing your car's old faded paint!

1993 World Rally Wagon.

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Subaru Impreza Wagon. This sporty gas saver came to our shop wearing nothing but primer. A friend of the owners primed the vehicle but did not finish it with new paint, leaving the surfaces vulnerable to rust beneath the primer! We began by repairing a few areas that were damaged by a collision, and unfinished by the previous body repair person. Once the bodywork was complete we sanded out all of the remaining chips and scratches and sealed the fresh surface with our own primer sealer! The car was originally green, instead of continuing its life with a run of the mill color, the owner decided to repaint it like one of Subaru's wickedly fast race cars. The color is called World Rally Blue, and the paint material is Almost-Everything's Enamel!

1996 Ford Mustang Convertible Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Ford Mustang Convertible.  This pony came to our shop white, partially prepped, and overall just tired looking.  The owner decided white wasnt his color anymore and decided to paint the exterior jet black! We completed all of the basic prep work, first cleaning the car to remove oils, road tar, bugs, etc. Once everything was clean we scuffed what was left of the old paint with an abrasive pad to promote adhesion of the new paint, and masked off all of the unpainted things such as lights and trim.  We refinished this Ford with our basic Enamel paint, which goes to show how even a basic paint material can make an old car look great (and 100x more menacing in the case of this Mustang)!

1992 Dodge B350 Original Color Re-Spray!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is an extremely discolored 1992 Dodge B350 Van.  This massive transporter came to our shop with its original paint showing its age.  The van was originally light blue, over the years the beautiful glossy blue became a strange, flat, dirty looking color.  We began the color restoration of this van by first sanding out all of the existing chips and scratches, then sealing the freshly sanded exterior with a primer sealer.  The original color was then sprayed on in our Enamel paint grade!

1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager. This Van came to Almost Everything with its original paint in rough shape. Over the years the sun and elements beat up the finish causing it to look dull and faded. In addition to the dull paint, its clear coat had failed. Most of it was peeling off in sheets! We removed all of the peeling, faded paint (without removing the peeling stuff a shiny new paint job would never last!) Once the surfaces were nice and smooth we sealed the van with a primer sealer, and re-painted the exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in its original color!

Ford Mustang GT Repaint + Matte Black Accents!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Ford Mustang GT. This mellow-colored mustang came to our shop needing some serious help in the looks department.  The original paint had faded to a dull, lifeless orange over the years as well as the headlights and other trim pieces.  We refinished this pony with our Base Coat + Clear Coat paint for an exceptionally glossy finish that will last for years to come! Since orange is such a bright color, and there is such thing as "Too Much Orange" the owner wanted to add an old-school muscle car inspired "Break" in colors, he asked us to repaint the hood scoop and spoiler flat black like the original Mach 1 Mustangs had!
