Acura TL Color Match

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2002 Acura TL type-s. This car was prepped by the owner due to lots of old, failing paint. Once the owner was satisfied with his sanding work, he dropped the car off for us to paint. We refinished the Hood and Roof back to the factory blue color and had this TL looking like new again!

1998 Honda Civic Sedan

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Honda Civic. When this car came to us it had many of the usual "Honda problems" such as: peeling/delaminating paint, microchecking paint (a condition where the primer beneath the paint fails, forming a "checked" looking top finish) and minor chips and scratches. It had also recently been hit on the rear quarter panel/rear door causing a decent sized dent in both panels. We repaired the damage caused by the accident by pulling and reshaping the existing sheetmetal as closely as possible to its original form and applying a very thin layer of plastic filler to smooth out all of the wrinkles and dings. Once the bodywork had been completed we moved on to sanding. The hood and fenders had to be stripped down to bare metal due to the microchecking on these panels. The rest of the car luckily didn't have microchecking, however it did have peeling or "delaminating" paint, which was smoothed and feathered until it was all gone. Priming the car was the next step, this provides a protective sealing layer between the bare metal and the top coat of paint, while providing a solid even surface for the new paint to adhere to. Instead of repainting the car with its original green, the owner decided to change the color to "Diamond Black" in our base coat/clear coat paint package!

2005 Acura RSX

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Acura RSX. This fairly new car has spent much of its time outdoors, resulting in the delaminating/peeling paint you can see in the following pictures. Sun, heat and outdoor elements are the main causes of such paint failure, once the peeling starts it is virtually impossible to stop.  A common way to prevent this from happening to your vehicle is to regulary wash and wax the exterior with a good quality paste wax, think of it as sunscreen for your car. Any paint job will fail over time, but proper care and prevention will preserve your finish much longer!  We restored the finish on this particular car with our Enamel + UV protective paint.

From Green to Gunmetal

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Honda Civic Sedan, the owner of this car decided he wanted to learn the basic steps of auto body work. He prepped the car himself, removing the paint to the bare metal on the "microchecked" hood, and the rest of the cars delaminating/peeling paint. Once he was satisfied with his work, he brought the car in for us to paint, he chose our "Phantom Gray Effect" color, when we finished you would never know the outside of this car used to be green!
