2005 Honda Civic Si Revamp

2005 Honda Civic Si with new Championship White paint job from Almost Everything Auto Body.
A young driver and his parents wanted his first car to be something a little special. So they took a nice Honda Civic Si that was looking a little old and made it look new. The Honda Championship White paint is a nice touch and a tribute to Honda's first Formula 1 victory in 1960.

1995 Honda Accord with Microchecked Paint

Almost Everything Auto Body technician masking a car prior to paint.

This 1995 Honda Accord was still performing well when it came to us in 2019. But the paint looked like hell! The paint had develop a problem called microchecking. Over time microchecking leads to paint failure and rusting. It is characterized by small cracks (or "checks") in the paint. They look like lots of small razor cuts and are usually the result of temperature extremes. So it is common to first see the problem over the car's radiator where the paint experiences the most extremes of heating and cooling. The cracks allow water to get under the paint so metal body parts start rusting.

This post provides a very nice photo progression of the car going through sanding and masking processes in the shop.

1995 Mercedes E320 Respray

Mercedes Benz E320 with new paint from Almost Everything Auto Body.

These 1990s Mercedes Benzes were built like bank vaults. But even a Mercedes will need to be repainted when the original paint gets old enough. In the case of this car, the paint was faded. At some point the trunk had been replaced. And the owner had 2 new tail lights that she purchased and wanted to have us install.

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.
