1989 Convertible E30 BMW Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1989 BMW "E30" Convertible. This drop top came to our shop missing its paint. The owner decided it was time to restore the looks of his Bimmer. Upon drop-off there was lots of peeling paint, chips, scratches and ugliness that needed our attention. We began by removing all of the bad "Peeling" or "Delaminating" paint, along with the chips and scratches. Next step was to seal the car with a primer, then finally we painted the car using our "Single Stage Enamel" paint in the car's original color!

1988 BMW 325i Customization and Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1988 BMW 325i convertible.  This classic brick of BMW steel came to our shop looking like all of the other "boring" E30 BMW's out on the road.  It was wearing its original "Diving Board" US spec metal bumpers, the "Early Style" short valance, and had a whole slough of other undesireable factory installed original parts. We tore the car down, and converted the body parts over to the newer, better looking (in 99% of the worlds opinion) "Late Model" plastic bumpers, longer front and rear valances, and replaced many of the parts with their "Euro" counterparts, things such as the Grilles, etc. The BMW was painted using our Premium "Base / Clear" paint, in its original color "Salmon Silver"

BMW E30 Bodywork, Paint, Customization!

6 Months Ago:
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is what started out as a 1988 BMW 325i.  This car belongs to one of our employees and has been a headache...err...project of his for the past 4 years! The car began as a faded red/pinkish automatic old lady cruiser. Over time it was slowly "frankensteined", becoming an evil little death trap. The motor and drive train are up to decent satisfactory-ish levels (not really.) However a recent rear end collision damaged the bumper, and the body was ready for a new paint job. He decided on refinishing his BMW with a Chevrolet Corvette color called "Torch Red" in our basic Enamel Single Stage paint grade!

It Will Never, Ever, Be "Done":

1990 Mazda Miata Paint Job with Bodywork!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Mazda Miata. This race inspired roadster came to our shop looking hacked up and discolored. The fender flares were somewhat moulded to the body and needed some "Massaging" to make them smoother, and fit better against the cars body.  We smoothed and finished the flares, scuffed up the old paint (after removing the miata hard top and mirrors) and painted the car the purest, brightest white we could find, while the hardtop and mirrors were painted the blackest black!

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)!

1965 Mustang Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1965 Mustang convertible. This pony came to Almost Everything with a few different mis-matched paint jobs. Athough this car is a classic, it is still driven regularly by its owner. We repainted the exterior after completing our basic prep work (included with all of our paint jobs.) The paint is a durable, extremely glossy enamel in its "era correct" color; Wimbledon White!
