1990 Mazda Miata Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata. This micro-sized import roadster came to our shop with a few different paint jobs clinging to its body panels, and its owner was tired of the car looking like that. He also however did not want to spend $5000.00 on a new paint job for a car he may sell in the near future. He decided to go with our basic Enamel paint package, also opting for a bit of additional sanding of rock chips and scratches, and a primer sealer. Once we completed all of the prep work, sanding, and primer steps we refinished the car with its original color, and returned it to its owner looking new again!

2003 Lexus LS430 Collision Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2003 Lexus LS430. This luxurious land yacht came to our shop with some severe damage to its front end! It had recently been in a collision with a truck. Sadly for this Lexus, the truck won. The front fender, bumper cover, and headlight were in terrible shape and required replacement. Since this repair was coming out of the owner's pocket we did the most we could to keep cost down while maintaining factory parts and looks! The replacement parts came direct from the original manufacturer. Once they arrived at our shop we refinished them to match the rest of the car and blended a bit of new paint onto the panels neighboring the replacement parts to avoid any variation in paint color. We turned this wrecked Lexus back into its old luxurious self in no time!
