2010 Toyota Prius Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2010 Toyota Prius.  This gas sipper came to Almost-Everything with some unsightly damage on many different surfaces all around the car.  Instead of going panel by panel repainting only the areas that were damaged, the owner opted to refinish the entire exterior of the car with our Enamel paint!

1995 Dodge Caravan Color Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Dodge Caravan. This work van came to Almost Everything with its original paint in shambles. A good majority of it had been sanded off in preparation for new paint. Unfortunately the surface would not have looked too smooth if we had simply painted over the existing surface repairs. We corrected this by sanding all of the surfaces clean and smooth. Once that had been completed we masked off all windows, lights and trim, and finally refinished the van with our Enamel paint in the van's original color!

1967 Pontiac Firebird Color Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. This classic muscle car came to Almost-Everything looking pretty beat. There were rust holes in some body panels, old bodywork that was not too interested in looking great anymore and its paint had faded from years of being outside in the sun. We began our restoration by replacing the unusable rear right body panel with a new reproduction panel made specifically for rusted/damaged areas which was provided to us by the car's owner. Once that was completed we began smoothing and "re-skimming" over the old body work so it would not show through the cars new upcoming paint job. Once the specified areas were smooth, we applied a primer sealer and finally repainted the entire exterior of the vehicle with our Urethane + Integrated Clear Coat paint!

Fender Bender Extraordinaire--Rolls Royce Phantom Side-Swiped

If you're having a bad day, these photos might help put a different perspective on it. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a recent Rolls Royce Phantom with custom bodywork from what looks like a low wall hit at high speed. The air bags are deployed and the car was spotted abandoned by the side of the road in China.  At roughly $500,000.00, the car may not be a total loss like any normal car would be. On the bright side, if you had to be in a vehicle that was going to be in a major accident, this tank of a car is probably a good choice.

Thanks as always to WreckedExotics.com who sent these gems to us.

Employee Project: 1998 Honda Civic

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Honda Civic.  This car belongs to one of our team member's significant other. The car was recently "side swiped" causing some unsightly damage on the rear left side of the body,  we quickly straightened that damaged portion out. Instead of simply repainting the repaired section like most "normal people" would do, our employee decided to change out the entire front end and completely repaint the whole car with Honda's "Championship White" color Enamel paint for a more aggressive look.  Contrary to popular belief, the new more aggressive looking front end did not add any additional horsepower or torque to the car, it did however make for one extremely happy girlfriend!

1993 BMW 325i Color Restoration

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 BMW 325i Sedan. This four door Bavarian came to Almost-Everything with its original paint in bad shape. Over the years the sun and natural elements will take their toll on any finish, and after twenty years, it was about time for a new paint job. We began our process by repairing certain areas that the owner specified to fix, such as the passenger side door. Once all of the body work was complete we sanded down all of the old failing paint, masked off all of the cars windows and trim, painted the entire exterior with our Base Coat / Clear Coat paint, and finally baked the new finish on in our oven!

1998 Frankenstang Brought Back From the Dead!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Ford Mustang. This car happens to belong to one of our team members who completed most of the bodywork himself including replacing many body panels/lights/emblems etc. over the course of a few months. He also completed all other prep-work before the overall paint job and is very proud of his finished project!

Video of 2013 Ferrari "LaFerrari"

Beautiful car. Dumb name. Ferrari has unveiled the successor to the GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo and is calling it "LaFerrari." Which as far as we can tell is universally derided. Still, we wouldn't turn one down if offered to us. . . or if we had the $1.3M needed to buy one.

It's a hybrid and the most outrageous Ferrari to date:

• 0-60 in less than 3 seconds
• 220 mph top speed
• 0963 HP
• 665 lb-ft (900+ Nm) torque.
