Something flew up and hit the hood of this Jetta causing a big dent. Fortunately, it bounced over the windshield and didn't cause more damage. We pulled out the dent and painted the hood with original factory paint.

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!

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!
