Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 BMW Z3. This car came to us with its original paint in terrible shape. The primer beneath the paint had failed, creating a condition known as "microchecking" which we removed, re-primed and painted back to its original factory color.

2000 CHEVY S10 WITH FAILING PAINT
Almost Everything Autobody's Car of the Day is a 2000 Chevy S10 with microchecking paint. Microchecking can also be called lacquer checking, lacquer cracking, crazing or surface checking. It happens when materials below the paint cause problems resulting in lots of tiny cracks that look like check marks. The cracks can let water get under the paint to cause rust. On this vehicle, we repaired the old failing paint, applied a new coat of primer then put on a fresh coat of gloss black. We finished the project with flame graphics.

PEELING PAINT ON 1996 GMC YUKON
This 1996 Yukon came to Almost Everything Autobody for some desperately needed rust repair. We reconditioned the roof and hood, sanded the car to get rid of the peeling paint, put on a new protective coating of primer/sealer and repainted the car with a high quality polyurethane paint. The car looks as if it was just coming off the dealer's lot.
