Lamborghini's 50th Anniversary

Almost Everything Auto Body Repair & Paint celebrates the 50th anniversary of the October 30, 1963 founding of Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. We've collected photos of some of our favorite Lamborghinis. Some have been gorgeous cars. . . and some we would be hard pressed to call beautiful but were none-the-less brutally fast and always fascinating.

2000 Pontiac Grand Am Overall Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. This car came to Almost Everything looking dazed and confused. Its front half was flat primer-ish looking black while the rear was gloss black. The reason for the color difference is because some body panels were replaced at some point and were never painted! We began the repainting process with all of our basics: a chemical cleaning to remove old road contaminants clinging to the paint, then masking off all of the car's windows lights and trim. This car's owner made a wise decision and chose to seal the car prior to paint with our basic primer-sealer to promote adhesion and longevity of the final finish. The car was now ready for paint. We repainted the exterior with our Enamel paint in its original color!

1996 Acura Integra Re-Painted by Almost-Everything

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Acura Integra. This hatchback came to Almost Everything looking terrible! The original paint had seen it's better days and was peeling or "Delaminating" off the car in big ugly flaky sheets, leaving the existing surface dull and unattractive. Many of the cars that Almost-Everything paints actually start off in this condition! Our process is proven to provide great results at a bargain price. On this particular car we began by heavily sanding the old peeling paint down to a smooth, paintable surface and masked off all of the remaining trim, windows etc. that were not supposed to be painted. Once our final prep was finished we moved the Acura into the paint booth where a few coats of Sealer were applied to the raw surfaces all around the car. Finally the little luxurious hatchback was ready for its new paint job, we applied our Enamel paint in the car's original "Cypress Green Pearl" color, and returned it to its owner looking shiny and new again!
