1993 Jeep Wrangler Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Jeep Wrangler, this off road machine was dropped off at our shop as a dull, grey / white / black sort of...thing. This Jeep happens to be a project that is going to be both driven on the street and off road.  Knowing that the paint is going to be chipped and dented from off roading in the very near future the owner did not want to apply an expensive factory type of paint.  With this in mind we reccomended a basic "Single Stage" Enamel, a convieniently cost effective paint material.  We cleaned up all of the exterior surfaces, masked off all of the trim and interior, painted it jet black, and finally baked it in our oven to cure the new finish on!

1991 Cadillac De Ville "Half Paint Job"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Cadillac De Ville, this old luxury car came to our shop faded, peeling, chipped and just overall old looking.  Since this car came from the factory with a "Two Tone" paint scheme, the owner wanted to keep that exact look, but did not want to pay truck loads of his hard earned cash to duplicate it!  We suggested to keep the original lower silver portions in their factory paint, while we repainted just the top metallic blue portions of the car with our Base Coat / Clear Coat paint.  We got this cruiser back to its owner looking just like new again, and even managed to save him some money!

2002 Nissan Sentra Se-R Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2002 Nissan Sentra Se-R.  This bright red sport compact came to our shop with plenty of raw bodywork and primer all over its body panels.  This car is getting prepared to sell so a shiny paint job is imperative, nobody wants to spend their hard earned money on a dull dented up car! Since the owner of this car completed all of his own bodywork, he requested that we simply refinish the outside of the vehicle.  We repainted the Sentra with its original "Aztec Red" color and returned it to its owner looking glossy and new again!

1999 Honda Accord Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Honda Accord. This car was a bit different from most of the Accords we post. The original paint had not completely peeled off just yet. It had however, showed signs of beginning the peeling or "delaminating" process. To put an abrupt end to the paint's faulty intentions, we began by sanding down all of the areas that were beginning to peel, also removing all of the existing rock chips and scratches while we were there. Once all of the sanding and scuffing had been completed, we masked the windows and trim and applied a primer sealer to the sanded surfaces. The last step in the process was the paint. We refinished this Accord with our enamel paint which, beleive it or not, is actually one of our more basic paint packages!

Photos of 6 Exotic Cars Going Up In Flames

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is not one wreck but 6! A car carrier in Bangkok, Thailand was transporting a Ferrari, Lamborghini, 2 Bentleys, Mercedes and a BMW. One of the exotics caught fire while on the transporter (we're guessing the Lamborghini because they seem to spontaneously combust fairly frequently.) The fire spread to other cars while the truck was moving!

Thanks as always the the guys at WreckedExotics.com for our weekly dose of automotive mayhem!

1990 Mazda Miata Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata. This micro-sized import roadster came to our shop with a few different paint jobs clinging to its body panels, and its owner was tired of the car looking like that. He also however did not want to spend $5000.00 on a new paint job for a car he may sell in the near future. He decided to go with our basic Enamel paint package, also opting for a bit of additional sanding of rock chips and scratches, and a primer sealer. Once we completed all of the prep work, sanding, and primer steps we refinished the car with its original color, and returned it to its owner looking new again!

2003 Lexus LS430 Collision Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2003 Lexus LS430. This luxurious land yacht came to our shop with some severe damage to its front end! It had recently been in a collision with a truck. Sadly for this Lexus, the truck won. The front fender, bumper cover, and headlight were in terrible shape and required replacement. Since this repair was coming out of the owner's pocket we did the most we could to keep cost down while maintaining factory parts and looks! The replacement parts came direct from the original manufacturer. Once they arrived at our shop we refinished them to match the rest of the car and blended a bit of new paint onto the panels neighboring the replacement parts to avoid any variation in paint color. We turned this wrecked Lexus back into its old luxurious self in no time!
