1971 Volkswagen Beetle Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle.  Das Auto came to our shop looking quite delapitated and incomplete.  It appeared to have been halfway stripped and never finished! We began making this Volkswagen look great again by first repairing all of the body imperfections that its owner specified that he wanted us to remove. Next we sanded out all of the imperfections, rock chips, scratches, and other surface blemishes. Once smoothed down, a sealer was applied to prime the surface and finally our Urethane Single Stage Paint was applied, leaving this Bug looking like new again!

1986 Volkswagen Westfalia Overhaul!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Volkswagen Westfalia. This mini RV came to our shop with mismatched, faded, old unsightly paint all over! In addition to the failing paint, lots of rust decided to join the party. This van is the owners baby. He had restored it mechanically. He came to us to put a long lasting, quality paint on it. After all of the body repairs and prep work was completed, we repainted it with our "factory-type" of base coat/clear coat paint!

1967 Volkswagen Beetle Color Restoration

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!

1963 Volkswagen Bug Color Restoration

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle.  This Peoples Car came to our shop with many different colors on it---Flat Black, Glossy-ish black, and a bit of Grey primer, there was also some bodywork that needed our attention.  We started by smoothing out all of the dings,dents, and gouges that the car's owner specified to be fixed.  Next we applied a Primer-Sealer to give the new paint something to "bite" onto.  Lastly we refinished the entire exterior of the car with our Urethane + Integrated Clear coat paint! The color that was applied to the Bug came right out of our color swatch book and is called "Black Pearl".

1986 Volkswagen Rabbit Color Change

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible. When this "Peoples Car" came to Almost Everything it had lots of "wear and tear" type damage on the body sides such as; dings, dents, scratches and gouges. All of these are to be expected from a paint job of this cars era. We began by removing certain dings and dents and sanding the entire outside of the car to remove any rock chips and scratches. We then masked off all trim pieces and areas that were not to be painted such as the convertible top and windows. Once the prep work had all been completed we applied a primer sealer so the new paint has a solid surface to "bite" onto, and finally we refinished the entire exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in a very rich non-metallic red that the owner picked right out of our color book!
