2003 Dodge Intrepid Overall Paint job

This customer wanted to revive this Delaminating (peeling) paint job and make this beauty look like new again. The customer decided they wanted us to do the extra prepping methods to correct this paint imperfection which paid off in the long run! Just look at her shine! We use Urethane Single-Stage paint titled "Brilliant Black"

DELAMINATING PAINT & MICROCHECK EXAMPLE   

2003 Dodge Intrepid prior to work at Almost Everything

These two pictures are good examples of delaminating paint and microcheck on the same body panel. This is caused by the heating and cooling of the cars surface. This tends to happen more on darker colored cars! When the surface is exposed to the sun all day the paint expands. At night when the surface cools down it will return to the original condition. This causes the paint to have tiny "check marks" only being able to notice when inspecting paint close enough!

Dodge Van Paint Job

Faded Dodge Van in need of an overall paint job at Almost Everything Auto Body.

This older Dodge van has a beautiful, custom interior and still drove well but the exterior was really in need of a refresh. We took off all of the delaminating (blistering & peeling) paint then repainted the whole vehicle with a tough, single-stage Urethane.

4th of July Celebration - Almost Everything Style

Red, White and Blue! (Right to Left: Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, Pontiac Fiero GT, Mazda MX5 Miata)

Let's get the party started with a trio of red, white and blue cars (and for those with good eyes there are two all-American Teslas in the background!) Pick your favorite: the Mazda Miata in blue, Pontiac Fiero GT in white or the Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo (twin to a Mitsubishi 3000GT) is in red. We painted these cars awhile ago and have been saving the photo for 4th of July.

Could This Be the Same Truck?

Very faded 1993 Dodge Dakota before complete paint job at Almost Everything Auto Body.

Our Car of the Day is a truck, a 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup that looks like it needed new paint 10 years ago. The good news is that except for the very faded paint, the body and mechanical parts of the truck were in decent condition and it took very little work to make it look great again. We didn't fix any dents. We just painted the truck. The Dakota shows a great example of our very economical Enamel single stage paint.

2000 Plymouth Neon Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2000 Plymouth Neon with lots of peeling paint. Many cars of this era are affected by "Delaminating Paint" a condition where the top layer of paint fails after years of exposure to outside elements, causing it to peel, flake, fade, crack, etc.  Peeling or "Delaminating" paint must be removed in order for our new paint to stick to the car! We sanded down all of the bad factory paint, applied a primer sealer, painted this Neon with our basic enamel paint, and returned it to its owner shiny and new again!

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!
