Almost-Everything's Summer Bumper Special!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Saab 900.  For the most part this cars paint was in great condition, but there was one exception, the rear bumper!  After years of getting bumped in parking lots and taking small poundings from other vehicles bumpers, this Saab's bumper had enough.  Its paint had nearly completely cracked off in some areas!  Before we could apply our paint, we repaired all of the cracked, peeling, chipped areas, smoothing them out so they would not show through the new paint.  We refinished the bumper with our enviromentally friendly "Water-Based Paint" and returned it back to its owner looking shiny and new again!

1996 Nissan Sentra "Visual Tune-Up"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Nissan Sentra. This little sedan came to our shop with plenty of peeling paint. Its original paint was coming off in sheets! Our first line of repair was to sand off all of that ugly problematic paint to a smooth, paintable surface. Once that was complete we sealed the car with our basic "Primer Sealer" and repainted the entire exterior with our Enamel paint in the cars original color!

1999 Honda Accord Overall Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Honda Accord.  This rasin colored sedan came to our shop almost completely grey!  This car had lots of existing bodywork from outside our shop, the owner came to us simply for paint.  We began by washing the exterior with a chemical to remove any old dirt, wax, road tar, etc. We then scuffed up the paint/primer with an abrasive hand pad to promote adhesion of the new paint.  Once masking was completed, the car was ready for its new coat of Enamel paint in its original color!

2001 Honda Odyssey Paint Job + Headlamp Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Odyssey.  This family mover came to Almost-Everything just in time.  Its paint had recently started to peel or "delaminate" as we call it.  This is a very common problem on Hondas, usually it begins on the roof, hood, and trunk then spreads onto the surrounding panels, luckily this owner caught it in the beginning stages! We sanded down all of the problematic areas to a smooth surface then applied a primer to seal the freshly abraded surface also providing a great "Clean Slate" for the new paint to stick onto.  The owners of this van are keeping it for many years to come, with this in mind they decided to have us paint their Odyssey with our Base Coat / Clear Coat paint, which carries a five year warranty! To top off the van's new look we also restored the yellowed, foggy headlamps back to crystal clear!

1986 Volkswagen Westfalia Overhaul!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Volkswagen Westfalia. This mini RV came to our shop with mismatched, faded, old unsightly paint all over! In addition to the failing paint, lots of rust decided to join the party. This van is the owners baby. He had restored it mechanically. He came to us to put a long lasting, quality paint on it. After all of the body repairs and prep work was completed, we repainted it with our "factory-type" of base coat/clear coat paint!

1965 Mustang Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1965 Mustang convertible. This pony came to Almost Everything with a few different mis-matched paint jobs. Athough this car is a classic, it is still driven regularly by its owner. We repainted the exterior after completing our basic prep work (included with all of our paint jobs.) The paint is a durable, extremely glossy enamel in its "era correct" color; Wimbledon White!

Can I park here?

Almost Everything's Cars of the Day are two extreme opposites. The Chevrolet Silverado has about five feet of ground clearance, whereas the BMW E30 has a little less than an inch and a half between its oil pan and the ground. Interestingly enough, the BMW hauls engines, furniture, and other massive stuff to test the vehicle's structural integrity in a real-world setting. The truck looks pretty.

Full disclosure: the BMW belongs to Joel, Almost Everything's Customer Service Manager.

Photos & Video of Bentley Continental GT Burning to the Ground

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is yet another Bentley Continental GT in flames. Unilke last time, the fire was mostly the owner's fault and partly the fault of the illegal street racers that he ran into (we don't think the Bentley was connected to the street race.) Witnesses reported (and video shows) that he was heading from the airport to Minsk, Belarus at an extreme rate of speed when he crashed into a VW and then 3 other vehicles in the middle of the street for a drag race. You can see a large group of people scattering from the middle of the street right after the crash. The driver escaped before the Bentley caught fire.
