1999 Mercedes Benz S500 Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Mercedes Benz S500. This European Land Yacht came to our shop dinged and dented with gouges in its bumpers, rock chips and scratches galore. On top of all that its paint was peeling! We began with some much needed bodywork. We worked with the car's owner and found all of the dings, dents and gouges that he wanted to have fixed and repaired those before the Mercedes went into sanding, where we removed all of the Rock Chips and Peeling or "Delaminating" paint! Finally the S500 was ready for its new paint job, we applied the original black pearl color in our Enamel paint grade for an affordable long lasting finish!

2001 Honda Accord Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Accord.  This Honda's paint was peeling like crazy when it came to our shop!  The car's original paint had failed years ago, leaving the surface looking white, and flaky. We commonly repair this exact problem on cars of this ones era, especially Hondas! We begin by sanding off all of the old "Delaminating" paint, smoothing it down to an even paintable surface.  Once sanding is completed, all of the windows, lights and trim are masked to avoid getting overspray on them, and we applied a primer sealer. Finally it was ready for its new coat of Base Coat / Clear Coat paint!
