Dents, Paint & Headlamp Restore on Toyota Minivan

New paint and shiny clear restored headlights from Almost Everything Auto Body.

After 10+ years of use this Toyota Sienna had a few noticeable wounds. The owner had us fix dents and repaint the entire minivan with a durable, reasonably priced, urethane single-stage paint. We also restored the headlights.

Before:
There is a dent near the taillight and the bumper is held on with duct tape.

After:
The dent is gone and so is the need for duct tape on the bumper.

Reviving Old 2-Tone Cars

2-Tone vehicle repainted in single color at Almost Everything Auto Body.

In the 1980s and 1990s two-tone cars were all the rage and showed that a vehicle was a premium model. Multiple colors on a car takes more material and labor. So it naturally costs more. But what do you do when one of these 20-30 year old cars needs to be repainted? Options include repainting both colors, repainting only the top color which is often more faded, painting only the bottom color which can be more prone to scrapes, or repainting the entire car in just one color. Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Mazda MPV that was faded & peeling on top and scraped on the bottom. So both of the 2-tone colors had problems. The owner decided to paint the entire vehicle one color to save money and recover a vehicle that still drove well but looked a mess.

Before:

After:

Toyota Sienna Collision Repair

Big dents in side of Toyota Sienna before collision repair.

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Toyota Sienna with huge dents in the door and quarter panel plus dents & scrapes on the other sides. The customers chose to pay for repairs themselves. So we offered cost savings suggestions including painting the entire vehicle with an economical, Enamel + UV paint and masking the trim instead of removing it. If the trim parts are not removed there will be paint overspray on the edges of these parts. But this type compromise can save a lot of money and may make sense on an older vehicle.

Color Change Breathes New Life into Minivan

2000 Toyota Sienna before getting new car paint and coloring the change

How thrilled would you be to get to drive this 2000 Toyota Sienna everyday? The engine is still good but the exterior is hideous. The owner opted for new car paint and a new color over a new car payment.

1999 Mercury Villager Re-Painted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Mercury Villager Minivan. This people mover came to our shop as many late 1990's vehicles do, its paint was peeling, faded and quite ugly. We started by first removing the peeling or "delaminating" paint, smoothing all of the old jagged edges of paint down to an even, paintable surface. Next up was primer-sealer; we applied a coat before paint to ensure proper adhesion. Finally its beautiful, original color was painted on with our Enamel paint, losing the "2 tone" color scheme for a more modern look!
