Toyota Camry's Look Great Without Peeling Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Toyota Camry. Imports such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, etc. from this era almost always have the same problem as this Camry. Over the years the sun will degrade the car's paint, causing it to fade, chip easily, crack, and most commonly peel! Once paint starts to peel or "delaminate" nothing can be done to repair that existing paint. Which means that it's time for a new paint job. Most people do not want to spend $5000.00+ on paint. Luckily we have options ranging from very affordable basic paint, all the way up to factory type paint!  This Camry was a budget-wise paint job. We performed all of the basic neccesary prep and also lots of sanding to remove all of the peeling clear coat. Next up was a primer-sealer to give the new paint something to "bite" onto. And finally it was ready to be refinished. We repainted this Camry with our Enamel paint in its original color!

1990 GMC Pickup Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 GMC Pick-Up Truck. This old hauler came to our shop looking pretty beat. Its original paint had been fading and peeling over the last couple of years and its owner decided to sand all of the unsighty failing paint down. After a car is sanded, it will need paint especially if there are bare metal spots. We prepped the truck with our "Basics" package, Cleaning the body with a chemical to remove any road contaminants clinging to the paint, a "Scuff" with an abrasive hand pad, and masking all of the windows, lights and trim pieces. After the prep was completed, we refinished the Chevy with a "Single Stage" paint!

Ford Mustang GT Repaint + Matte Black Accents!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Ford Mustang GT. This mellow-colored mustang came to our shop needing some serious help in the looks department.  The original paint had faded to a dull, lifeless orange over the years as well as the headlights and other trim pieces.  We refinished this pony with our Base Coat + Clear Coat paint for an exceptionally glossy finish that will last for years to come! Since orange is such a bright color, and there is such thing as "Too Much Orange" the owner wanted to add an old-school muscle car inspired "Break" in colors, he asked us to repaint the hood scoop and spoiler flat black like the original Mach 1 Mustangs had!

1994 Toyota Camry Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Toyota Camry. We love Camrys. We have painted thousands of them. This Toyota didn't have the typical peeling, flaky paint problem, however it did have a lot of faded non-glossy matte looking paint. We performed all of our "basic prep" and repaired a little imperfection in the rear bumper that was bugging this car's owner for years. The entire exterior was repainted with our Enamel paint using the original Toyota color code and finally returned to its thrilled owner looking shiny and new again!

2005 Mini Cooper S Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Mini Cooper S.  This hot hatch came to Almost-Everything as a multicolored...thing.  Luckily with auto paint being our specialty, we knew exactly what to do to get this Mini back on the road catching eyes as it is supposed to! The car's owner decided to have us repaint the car in its original black color, which we did after we completed all of our much needed prep work.  Every paint job that Almost-Everything offers comes with all of the "Basic" prep work.  We chemically clean the car to remove foreign contaminants, scuff the surface with an abrasive hand pad to promote adhesion of the new paint, and maskin off of all windows, lights, and trim. Once these steps are completed the entire exterior of the car is painted and finally baked in our massive oven to cure the new finish onto the car!

1999 Honda Accord Color Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Honda Accord. This car had all of the typical "Honda Problems" things such as; Peeling or "delaminating" clear coat, a condition called Microchecking, and just an overall dull looking finish. We repaired these problems starting with some heavy sanding, some areas had to be taken down to the bare metal while other areas simply had the delaminating paint removed, this process creates a smooth, paintable surface. After our sanding was complete the car was sealed with our basic primer sealer to cover up any bare metal areas and give the new paint a surface to "bite" onto. Finally it was ready for new paint. We refinished the exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in its original color and returned the car to its thrilled owner!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle.  This classic peoples car came to Almost-Everything with decent looking paint, however the surfaces beneath the paint were starting to fail or rust causing cracks, bubbles, and other unsightly blemishes.  We started the repairs by first going over and repairing all of the owner-specified areas such as; treating rust, repairing dings and a couple dents.  Once the body repairs were completed the car moved into masking where all of its windows, lights, trim pieces were masked off. Finally the car was moved into our booth where the entire exterior was refinished with its original color "Savanna Beige" in our Enamel paint grade!
