2008 Toyota Prius- Overall paint job and dent repairs

 This customer brought in his wife's 2008 Toyota Prius for an overall paint job. We did dent repairs to the front passenger door and both left and right rear doors. The customer chose the Enamel paint job with a Basic sealer. We also did delamination sanding to the vehicle were clear coat was peeling. Once we sanded off the clear coat we prepped the rest of the car, we masked it and it was ready for paint. The customer was excited to get her "new" car back. We were happy to bring some life back to the paint and share some excitement with our customer! 

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. 

1995 Honda Accord with Microchecked Paint

This 1995 Honda Accord was still performing well when it came to us in 2019. But the paint looked like hell! The paint had develop a problem called microchecking. Over time microchecking leads to paint failure and rusting. It is characterized by small cracks (or "checks") in the paint. They look like lots of small razor cuts and are usually the result of temperature extremes. So it is common to first see the problem over the car's radiator where the paint experiences the most extremes of heating and cooling. The cracks allow water to get under the paint so metal body parts start rusting.

This post provides a very nice photo progression of the car going through sanding and masking processes in the shop.

1986 Toyota Pickup Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Toyota Pickup. We began beautifying this beast by first cleaning up all of the exterior surfaces with a rough hand pad and a degreaser to ensure no grease, wax, or other contaminants were clinging to them. Once that step was complete we began masking all of the trim, windows, and other unpainted parts to protect them from overspray.  Finally the Pickup was ready for its new paintjob, we applied its original color, in our most affordable Enamel Paint!

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!
