2020 Honda CRV- Spot Job Door Repainting

This customer brought in their 2020 Honda CRV to get the passenger door repainted due to scratches. They decided on choosing the "Best Way" that we offer where we would remove and reinstall any part that isn't meant to be painted. This means we took off the chrome trim piece, the door handle, and the door mirror seeing as all three pieces did not need to be repainted or they weren't originally painted the same color as the car. After the paint was applied we let it cure in the bake booth and it was ready to go!

1970 Pontiac GTO Complete Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1970 Pontiac GTO.  This Classic Muscle Car came to our shop *LOOKING* decent.  Under the seemingly okay finish unbeknownst to anybody, lay some serious, serious, bodywork to be done before painting.  The car had been "Repaired" before, years ago by a "Professional Hack Artist", nearly 100% of its body panels had been skimmed with an absurd amount of body filler, hiding the improper "Repairs" beneath it.  Once we had the car stripped, we discovered that the Quarter Panels, Doors, and many other miscellanious panels were in dire need of replacement.  Some panels were replaced using reproduction parts such as both Quarter Panels, the Decklid Filler, and a handful of other parts. Some panels were not so lucky, who would have thought a 44 year old collectors car would be so hard to find parts for?  The areas thatwere impossible to replace due to lack of parts were repaired, grafting recycled sheet metal in place of old rusted metal, and finishing with a much lighter skim of plastic filler.  Once the body was all taken care of, we applied a Primer, then block sanded the whole car, exposing every single imperfection. Once everything was straight and smooth we Painted the GTO with our "Performance Base, Clear" paint in its original color!

 You thought you were done reading didn't you? Well luckily for you the process didnt stop after painting, once the paint was dry we "Wet Sanded and Polished" the entire car to remove any dust specs, or contaminants found in freshly sprayed paint.  Also this process removes the natural texture called "Orange Peel" leaving the cars finish as smooth as glass, like a true show car's paint job should!

1995 Acura Integra Exterior Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Acura Integra. This hatchback came to our shop mismatched, discolored, and had a broken door! We began our repairs by completing all of the requested body work, we re-welded the broken sheet metal on the drivers door and adjusted the top arch of the door to align with the car's roof line! Once all of the body repair were completed we moved into the painting process, beginning with some light sanding to remove rock chips, then masking of all windows, lights, trim pieces, and lastly a coat of primer sealer! When this was finished the Integra was painted with our "Single Stage Enamel" paint, cleaned up, reassembled and returned to its pleased owner!
