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!

Car of the Day - 1988 BMW 735i Overall Auto Paint, Bumper Repair & Pinstripes
The customer who owns this BMW had someone else start the bodywork before he brought it to Almost Everything. The bodywork had not been completed and there were still some scrapes and gouges in the bumpers that needed to be repaired. Almost Everything fixed the bumpers and applied a 2-part epoxy primer to the areas where there was exposed body filler. We block sanded both the old and new body work to make sure the body lines were correct and everything was smooth. Then we painted the whole car with our Signature 2-Stage Base-Clear Paint Service. We also restored the matte black trim on the bumpers, door handles, window mouldings, side mouldings and rocker panels. Finally, we put pinstripes on the car.
The owner had taken the tail lights and BMW emblems off himself and planned to replace them after he picked-up the car.
