1996 Ford Mustang Convertible Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Ford Mustang Convertible.  This pony came to our shop white, partially prepped, and overall just tired looking.  The owner decided white wasnt his color anymore and decided to paint the exterior jet black! We completed all of the basic prep work, first cleaning the car to remove oils, road tar, bugs, etc. Once everything was clean we scuffed what was left of the old paint with an abrasive pad to promote adhesion of the new paint, and masked off all of the unpainted things such as lights and trim.  We refinished this Ford with our basic Enamel paint, which goes to show how even a basic paint material can make an old car look great (and 100x more menacing in the case of this Mustang)!

1992 Dodge B350 Original Color Re-Spray!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is an extremely discolored 1992 Dodge B350 Van.  This massive transporter came to our shop with its original paint showing its age.  The van was originally light blue, over the years the beautiful glossy blue became a strange, flat, dirty looking color.  We began the color restoration of this van by first sanding out all of the existing chips and scratches, then sealing the freshly sanded exterior with a primer sealer.  The original color was then sprayed on in our Enamel paint grade!

1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager. This Van came to Almost Everything with its original paint in rough shape. Over the years the sun and elements beat up the finish causing it to look dull and faded. In addition to the dull paint, its clear coat had failed. Most of it was peeling off in sheets! We removed all of the peeling, faded paint (without removing the peeling stuff a shiny new paint job would never last!) Once the surfaces were nice and smooth we sealed the van with a primer sealer, and re-painted the exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in its original color!

2006 Taxi Van Re-Civilized!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Dodge Caravan. This minivan was used as a taxi for awhile but the owner decided to use as a regular car again. As you can imagine, driving a taxi-colored van that is actually not a taxi may send the wrong impression to pedestrians in need of a taxi. So the owner had us repaint his van with its original color in our Enamel + UV protectant paint!

1996 Ford Taurus Fender Bender Repair! (Literally, a Bent Fender was Repaired)

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Ford Taurus. We painted this car a couple years ago with our Enamel+UV protectant paint. In a recent rain, this car had a battle with a curb. Unfortunately the curb won. Luckily the body of the car was repairable. The accident pushed the fender into the door creating a large dent! We pulled and smoothed the panel back to its original shape and blended the area with paint making the unsightly damage a thing of the past! This car is a great example of one of our basic enamel paint jobs. The owner takes care of his paint by washing and waxing regularly. As you can see with the proper maintainence even a simple paint job can look great for years!

Betting Against Large Trucks

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. Now if the contest is pure speed we'll take the Lambo over the truck every time. But when the game is "chicken". . . 

Truck wins, again.

Even when we are 90% sure that we'll squeeze through before the truck, we try to be gracious and allow the truck to go first on the chance that the truck could squash us like a bug and not even notice it.

We have been hunting for some better photos of this crash but so far, no luck. If you find some, send them our way. These came from our buddies over at WreckedExotics.com. 

2002 Mitstsubishi Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer. This car came to us looking for the most basic paint job available. Its owner had completed all of the prep work that he deemed necessary, and left us the car to refinish with our Enamel paint! Although the car had been "prepared" outside of our shop, we always clean and degrease the car, scuff the shiny surfaces with an abrasive hand pad to promote adhesion, and mask off all of the windows, lights, and trim! When our basic prep is complete we then paint the car and bake it in our giant oven to cure the new finish! This Mitsubishi came in "2 Tone" the owner grew tired of that paint scheme and requested that we paint the car all one color, in its original red!

2004 Nissan Sentra Repainted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a peeling 2004 Nissan Sentra.  This Nissan spends most of its time outside. The sun doesn't have mercy on paint. Its harmful UV rays can make even a relatively new car's paint fail in no time! We fixed this unsightly problem by first removing all of the failing paint, then masking off all of the unpainted areas of the car. Next we applied a primer-sealer and finally its new coat of Enamel + UV Protectant paint!

1998 Accord Paint Match!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Honda Accord. This raisin colored sedan came to Almost Everything completely mismatched. Many of its body panels had been replaced with aftermarket parts due to collisions. Replacement parts will almost always need to be painted. Luckily we offer affordable options for repainting spots, or even the entire car as in the case of this Accord!
