Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Ford Mustang Convertible. This pony came to our shop white, partially prepped, and overall just tired looking. The owner decided white wasnt his color anymore and decided to paint the exterior jet black! We completed all of the basic prep work, first cleaning the car to remove oils, road tar, bugs, etc. Once everything was clean we scuffed what was left of the old paint with an abrasive pad to promote adhesion of the new paint, and masked off all of the unpainted things such as lights and trim. We refinished this Ford with our basic Enamel paint, which goes to show how even a basic paint material can make an old car look great (and 100x more menacing in the case of this Mustang)!

1992 Dodge B350 Original Color Re-Spray!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is an extremely discolored 1992 Dodge B350 Van. This massive transporter came to our shop with its original paint showing its age. The van was originally light blue, over the years the beautiful glossy blue became a strange, flat, dirty looking color. We began the color restoration of this van by first sanding out all of the existing chips and scratches, then sealing the freshly sanded exterior with a primer sealer. The original color was then sprayed on in our Enamel paint grade!

1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager Repaint!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager. This Van came to Almost Everything with its original paint in rough shape. Over the years the sun and elements beat up the finish causing it to look dull and faded. In addition to the dull paint, its clear coat had failed. Most of it was peeling off in sheets! We removed all of the peeling, faded paint (without removing the peeling stuff a shiny new paint job would never last!) Once the surfaces were nice and smooth we sealed the van with a primer sealer, and re-painted the exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in its original color!
