IROC Camaro brought back to life!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. This is an Iconic muscle car, sadly it was not treated like one by its previous owners, it had lots of old primer and unfinished body work that made the car look terrible! We started on this car by removing all of the old stickers and decals, we then scuffed up the existing primer with an abrasive pad. Once the basic prep work had been done we layed on a coat of our own primer sealer so that the new paint had a better surface to adhere to, and refinished the entire car including both door jambs! The owner chose to change the color of the car to "Frost White" a color right out of our paint catalog!

Honda Civic Color Restoration!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Honda Civic. This dependable little sedan came to us with one major problem, its paint was falling off! We refer to this condition as "Delaminating Paint" this happens because your car's clear coat has failed to hold to its surface and is literally peeling off of the color coat. Fortunately we know how to fix this problem and do so very often! We started by sanding the vehicle to smooth out or "feather edge" all of the areas of delaminating paint. Next we masked off all of the areas that were not meant to be painted such as; windows, trim, mudflaps, etc. Once that had been completed, we sealed the freshly sanded surface with a primer, and finally we refinished the entire car in its factory color with our Enamel paint!

1995 Acura Legend
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Acura Legend. The owner of this car decided to try his hand at some auto body, he sanded the car himself removing much of the peeling and delaminating paint that was on it. Once he had finished prepping the car to his satisfaction, he dropped it off to us where we first applied a primer sealer on top of the freshly sanded surface, and refinished the whole car with our Enamel paint!

Work Truck Restored!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is this 1995 Chevrolet Pickup. This pickup holds a lot of sentimental value for the owner, not wanting to purchase a brand new pickup he restored the one he already owns with our Base Coat-Clear Coat paint package! He decided that the old blue paint was a little bit too "standard" looking, and instead of refinishing the truck with the original blue the owner had us apply a newer General Motors color. There is no mistaking this truck with its fresh coat of bright metallic blue paint!

2005 Acura RSX
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Acura RSX. This fairly new car has spent much of its time outdoors, resulting in the delaminating/peeling paint you can see in the following pictures. Sun, heat and outdoor elements are the main causes of such paint failure, once the peeling starts it is virtually impossible to stop. A common way to prevent this from happening to your vehicle is to regulary wash and wax the exterior with a good quality paste wax, think of it as sunscreen for your car. Any paint job will fail over time, but proper care and prevention will preserve your finish much longer! We restored the finish on this particular car with our Enamel + UV protective paint.

Classic Work Truck Brought Back To Life!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is this 1983 Nissan Pickup, when this little truck came to us it had a serious problem with delaminating paint. Since the paint was gone in many areas, the bare metal underneath was exposed to moisture, causing rust. We sanded down the damaged paint, applied a sealer/primer and finishing the whole truck with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in its original white color.
