2006 "VIP" Acura TL Repaint!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Acura TL. This car is inspired by the "VIP" styled cars of Japan; low, luxurious, and typically jet black. This particular black paint from Honda has a heavy blue metallic flake, making the car appear black at night or in the shade, but transforms to a deep blue in the sunlight! The TL was refinished using our "Two Stage Base Coat / Clear Coat" paint and the color is named "Nighthawk Black"

24 Hours of Le Mans!
Unlike most races, these vehicles must run all-out for 24 hours straight without breaking down and with as few stops as possible. At 2013 speeds we can expect the leaders to travel more than 3000 miles (5000 km)
NASCAR, Formula 1 and Indycar feature straights that can be a thousand feet long. LeMans features a straightaway that is 4 miles (6 km) long followed by a series of curves, hairpin turns and shorter straights.
It is our favorite race at Almost Everything because the cars look like real cars and the technology is often a few years away from making the cars we drive everyday safer, more fun and better performing.

1990 Honda CRX Employee Project!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Honda CRX. This screaming metal death trap came to our shop as a project of one of our team members. As the pictures show, the car's paint was in terrible condition and there was an abundance of little dings, dents and gouges everywhere! After all of the body work and basic prep was complete, we repainted the CRX a slightly different color; BMW "Zinnoberrot" red, with our Enamel paint!
