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!

It was originally a silver car and a few years back the owner decided to change the color to hot pink! This year the owner decided it was time for a more subtle color and opted to change the color again to a metallic blue!
