Auto Body Repairs on Lexus with 3-Stage Pearl Paint

2019 Lexus ES300h before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
A brand new Lexus ES300h came to us for collision repairs. We replaced the hood, bumper, headlamps, radiator, A/C condenser, cooling fan, collision avoidance sensor and damaged structural components. The car has a beautiful 3-stage "candy" paint job (also called tri-coat paint.) These type paints look dramatic because 3 different paint processes are used to add depth, shimmer and highlights. The extra paint steps also mean that the paint is much more difficult to match and takes a very skilled painter.

Color Change from Green to Blue

Atomic green Prius before repainting at Almost Everything Auto Body

Atomic Green, while arguably very cool, was not the original color of this Prius and the current owner wanted a return to dark blue. We repainted the entire car with an economical single-stage enamel paint.

Toyota Prius Bumper & Tailgate Repair

Rear bumper and tailgate damage before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.

We fixed a dent in the tailgate, replaced the bumper and repaired the rear body on this 2013 Toyota Prius. A tricky element is the 3-stage pearl white paint. 3-stage paints achieve special shimmer and highlight effects by stacking translucent color layers on top of each other. Minor variations in color or thickness of a layer can result in poor color match. For this reason all good body shops will tell you that color matching on a 3-stage paint is difficult or impossible and that blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels is required for the repair to look less noticeable. Even with blending, there can be differences between paint applied to plastic vs. metal. So most insurance companies will not cover blending for bumpers and you may notice that the bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car.

Scrapes and peeling paint on the front bumper of this 2012 Toyota Prius made it look a lot older than it should. We reconditioned the delaminating paint and repainted the bumper with factory matched paint.

Crunch! Collision Repairs on 2010 Prius

Prius with collision damage before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body

This poor Prius had a bad day. We replaced the bumper, headlamp, wiring harness, fender, wheel, door and some internal parts and repainted everything with the factory paint. The story ends happily with the insurance company paying for repairs and the Prius good as new.
