1993 Mercury Villager Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Mercury Villager. This peeling crusty minivan started the process at our shop with some serious sanding work, we removed all of the old failing red paint, smoothing all of the old jagged edges down to a even paintable level. Once the surface was even and smooth we masked off all of the unpainted areas such as; windows, lights, lower silver trim, etc. The van was now ready for its coat of primer sealer, and new paint! We refinished the red parts of the van with our Urethane Single Stage paint in its original color!

1992 BMW 325i Basic Paint Job

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1992 BMW 325i Sedan. This Bavarian came to our shop looking absolutely horrendous! Its original paint had been sanded down, and some bodywork had been completed before this car came in leaving its surfaces an off grey color. Since all of the bodywork and sanding that the owner wanted to be completed was already done, he opted for just our "Basic Prep" to be done prior to painting. We degreased the car, completed a final scuffing of the paint to ensure adhesion of the new paint, and masked off all of the windows, lights, and trim. We painted the entire exterior of this BMW with our basic Enamel paint, in the cars original color! As we do with every car, after it was painted we drove it straight into our oven to be "baked," curing the new finish!

1995 Chevrolet Tahoe Paint Overhaul!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Chevy Tahoe.  This mini SUV started out with no shortage of terrible old paint. Its original clear coat had failed over years of being beaten by the sun's harmful rays causing the top layer to look white, also the base layer of primer had failed causing lots of crack or "check" marks in the top surface! These paint defects would cause the new paint to look terrible if we simply painted over them, so we stripped the hood, roof, and both fenders down to the bare metal, ridding them of all of the checking primer.  The rest of the truck we sanded what was left of the old peeling clear coat down to a smooth paintable surface.  After masking, the truck was sealed with a primer and finally painted in its original color with our Urethane + Integrated Clear Coat paint!
