2003 Mazda Protege Re-Painted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2003 Mazda Protege. This economy car came to our shop in terrible shape! It had lots of peeling, cracked and chipping paint, also a door that had been "rebuilt" using improper body filler. We started by stripping the bad areas and fixing some cracks in the rear right door that were a result of improperly executed body work. Once that step was complete the sanding of the rest of the car begun, and a primer sealer was applied! Finally the Mazda was ready for its new paint, we refinished the protege using our basic Enamel Single Stage Paint, in the cars original color!

2004 Mazda 3 Accident Repair!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is an unfortunate 2004 Mazda 3 Hatchback.  This car came to our shop partially disassembled due to an accident that claimed most of the cars rear end. The owner of this Mazda contacted his insurance company, got a claim number, dropped off the car to us, and let us work our magic! We began by checking all of the areas that were involved in the collision, and ordering all of the replacement parts. While everything was being shipped, we repaired all of the damaged existing body panels, then reassembled everything when the parts arrived! We painted all of the repaired and replacement parts to match and returned the car back to its owner looking like nothing had ever happened!

1996 Mazda Miata Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Mazda Miata.  This roadster came to our shop partially assembled, with lots of the usual peeling paint thats so common on these cars! The owner was tired of looking at his tired Miata and had us work our magic by first: Sanding the peeling or "Delaminating" paint down to a smooth and paintable level. Second, we applied a primer/sealer to give the new paint a nice, even toned surface to stick to. Lastly we repainted the entire exterior of the Miata using our "Single Stage Urethane" paint!

1999 Mazda Miata Race Car Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Mazda Miata.  This agressive little track monster came to our shop shiny, yet weathered and tattered from lots of fun track days.  Not wanting his race car to look like such a...race car the owner and driver of this machine came to us with Two requests; Make the car shiny again, and keep the price low.  We met both of those requests with our Enamel Single stage paint, using the car's original color!

1990 Mazda Miata Re-Re-Painted

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Mazda Miata. This Japanese roadster came to our shop before, hence the shiny red paint on the majority of its body. Unfortunately it had a "Run In" with a wall, requiring body work and repainting. The car's owner repaired all of the areas that he deemed neccecary, and dropped the Miata off for us to refinish with our basic Enamel paint, in a Ford factory color red!

Houston Grand Prix Video

In-car video of Lloyd Read in the Almost Everything-JDC Motorsports formula car during his last lap of the season at the Grand Prix of Houston. This was the final race of the 2013 Star Mazda Championship. The video shows a great race with several changes in position as the finish line approaches. Just 2 laps from the checkered flag Read is bumped from behind by another car. He hits the wall and the car is done for the day.

Read won the 2011 Goodyear Formula Car Challenge Series for Almost Everything and last year led the championship until crashes (caused by other drivers) put him out of contention.

2013 was Read's rookie season of the Star Mazda Championship. He finished top 10 in all but 2 races. This put him 8th overall in points standing. Congratulations Lloyd. We look forward to an exciting 2014 season of racing.

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!
