This customer brought in his 1989 Ford Ranger for an overall paint job. We did a repair to the right fender, replaced both mirrors and corrected the microchecking on the hood and fenders. Microcheck is when the paint and primer are shrinking causing lots of microscopic cracks. The customer requested that we repaint the two tone paint and replace the pinstriping also. Once we completed the paint correction we masked half of the truck for the first color, baked the paint, remasked for the secondary color and it was ready for the pinstriping. After the truck was finished getting detailed we took a trip down memory lane with the restored 1989 Ford Ranger in its original two tone glory!

There's A Great Looking Truck Hiding In There
This 2006 Ford F-350 is a great truck that was looking a little old. We repaired some dings & dents and painted the whole thing a new color that made it look brand new. This is an example of our economical Enamel paint.

Could This Be the Same Truck?
Our Car of the Day is a truck, a 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup that looks like it needed new paint 10 years ago. The good news is that except for the very faded paint, the body and mechanical parts of the truck were in decent condition and it took very little work to make it look great again. We didn't fix any dents. We just painted the truck. The Dakota shows a great example of our very economical Enamel single stage paint.

"Almost" Everything - We'll Tell You It's Time to Give Up
Many people ask us what the "Almost" means in our name. This truck is a good example. Although we could fix it, we told the owner that he was better off buying another vehicle. In addition to the obvious damage, the frame was twisted and the suspension had problems. If someone were to fix it, we'd be afraid to ride in it. It was definitely a total loss. You could probably buy a nice used F-150 for less than half of what it would cost to fix this one.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado Rear-Ended
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a truck. . . a top of the line, barely off the lot, 2015 Chevy K1500 Silverado LT Crew Cab 4x4. As bad as this damage looks, we're sure the car that rear ended the Silverado faired worse. We realigned the frame, replaced the bed side, tailgate, bumper, exhaust system, catalytic converters and more. Then we repainted using factory matched paint. Our customer told us, "It looks like nother ever happened!" Thanks.
