2009 Toyota Camry XLE- Overall Paint Job

 This customer brought in her 2009 Toyota Camry XLE for an overall paint job. After going over her options the customer decided on the Urethane Base Coat/ Clear coat with a Urethane sealer. After explaining the quality of her old paint she wanted us to do the additional sanding to correct the peeling clear coat so the texture didn't show up under the new paint. She also requested that we sand out any other chips or scratches in the paint that wasn't related to the delaminating paint. We also replaced the front bumper, bumper filler on the left side and did some body work to the right door. 

Almost Everything Autobody's Masking Process

Earlier this month we published a post giving you a look into how we sand and prepare cars for new paint at Almost Everything Auto Body. What was not described in that post is the next step between preparation and the actual painting of the car. Some body shops require the complete dis-assembly of a vehicle before they can apply paint. We agree that it is the best way to paint a car. But it adds labor and cost which isn't helpful for many people and their cars. At our shop, one way of keeping costs down and the flow of cars moving quickly is to "Mask Off" all of the trim and windows instead of completely removing them. This method keeps the overall price of refinishing your car down considerably since we don't have to charge you to remove and install every little trim piece and panel! Ultimately your wallet will thank you, your car will look great and you will get your car back faster!
