2001 Honda Civic Paint Job!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Civic. This gas saver came to our shop like many Hondas and Toyotas, peeling, chipping, and overall wornout looking! We repaired the looks of this Honda by first "Prepping" the car by Cleaning and Scuffing the top surfaces of the paint. Next up was Masking, we sealed off and taped over all of the unpainted parts such as the windows, lights, and trim. Now the car was ready for its new paint, we applied our Enamel paint in the car's original color "Nighthawk Black Pearl".

1990 GMC Pickup Repaint!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 GMC Pick-Up Truck. This old hauler came to our shop looking pretty beat. Its original paint had been fading and peeling over the last couple of years and its owner decided to sand all of the unsighty failing paint down. After a car is sanded, it will need paint especially if there are bare metal spots. We prepped the truck with our "Basics" package, Cleaning the body with a chemical to remove any road contaminants clinging to the paint, a "Scuff" with an abrasive hand pad, and masking all of the windows, lights and trim pieces. After the prep was completed, we refinished the Chevy with a "Single Stage" paint!

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Peeling Paint Problem
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. This car came to our shop with lots of peeling or "delaminating" paint clinging to its body. Before we could apply a shiny new paint to it, the old paint had to come off. We began by sanding down all of the old peeling clear coat, smoothing the surfaces down to an even "non-peely" level. Once the car was smooth we applied a primer sealer to the panels to protect the freshly sanded surface and to provide a fresh even colored base for the new paint to "bite" onto. Finally the car was ready for its new paint job. We refinished this Chevy with our Enamel paint in its original color, Black. We have painted thousands of cars from all over the Bay Area, many of them with this same "Peeling" problem! Call us for an appointment or just stop by our shop for a free estimate on fixing your car's old faded paint!
