1962 Ford Falcon Painted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1962 Ford Falcon. This classic came to us in primer, its owner had some bodywork started and was now looking to simply clean up some of his work and paint the car. Since the owner didn't want to break his bank we recommended our Enamel single stage paint. Once our clean-up and sanding were finished we repainted the car with its original (by the book) color! Unfortunately once the car came out of our booth, due to many chemical differences and decades of paint formulas since the car was made, the color was off.  We worked with the owner and came up with a solution, we repainted the car again with a color that matched much better that we found in our color book! We compared our swatches to panels that still had original paint inside the car. Luckily the second time it came out of our booth the color was spot-on!

Jaguar's Good to Be Bad Promotion

Jaguar are promoting their new F-Type sports car (and we do mean sport--it is completely, unreservedly awesome) with their #GoodToBeBadContest.

The most recent contest "mission" was, "Tell us what song's playing when you're at your most villainous." It brought to mind a song that I used to blast on repeat while road racing along cliffs and mountain roads on the California coast above San Francisco.

So. . . here is Frank's (from Almost Everything's) insane driving theme song, "The Floral Dance" by The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band (#2 on the British Pop Charts in 1977) . . .

1995 Toyota Tercel Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Toyota Tercel.  This little red economy car came to our shop as a faded, chalky looking thing.  We brought this Tercel back by first sanding out all of the chips and scratches, then applying a primer sealer to provide a perfect surface for the new paint to bond to.  Once those steps were complete we repainted the entire car with our most basic "Enamel" paint!  This Toyota is a great example, showcasing how even our most basic paint with the correct prep work can look great, all done while staying on a tight budget!
