2000 Toyota Camry Collision Repair!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a wrecked 2000 Toyota Camry. This particular Toyota had an unfortunate encounter with a freeway on ramp wall. Walls are known for being stubborn. It bent the car's frame rails, the radiator support was tweaked, the headlight was cracked and a whole slew of other body panels were in need of replacement! While the car was having its frame straightened, we obtained all of the replacement parts and painted their "jambs." Then we aligned and installed the parts. Finally we repainted the replacement panels to match the existing paint color! We cleaned up and returned this Camry back to its owner looking brand new again!

2001 Honda Civic Paint Job!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Civic. This gas saver came to our shop like many Hondas and Toyotas, peeling, chipping, and overall wornout looking! We repaired the looks of this Honda by first "Prepping" the car by Cleaning and Scuffing the top surfaces of the paint. Next up was Masking, we sealed off and taped over all of the unpainted parts such as the windows, lights, and trim. Now the car was ready for its new paint, we applied our Enamel paint in the car's original color "Nighthawk Black Pearl".

1990 GMC Pickup Repaint!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 GMC Pick-Up Truck. This old hauler came to our shop looking pretty beat. Its original paint had been fading and peeling over the last couple of years and its owner decided to sand all of the unsighty failing paint down. After a car is sanded, it will need paint especially if there are bare metal spots. We prepped the truck with our "Basics" package, Cleaning the body with a chemical to remove any road contaminants clinging to the paint, a "Scuff" with an abrasive hand pad, and masking all of the windows, lights and trim pieces. After the prep was completed, we refinished the Chevy with a "Single Stage" paint!

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Peeling Paint Problem
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. This car came to our shop with lots of peeling or "delaminating" paint clinging to its body. Before we could apply a shiny new paint to it, the old paint had to come off. We began by sanding down all of the old peeling clear coat, smoothing the surfaces down to an even "non-peely" level. Once the car was smooth we applied a primer sealer to the panels to protect the freshly sanded surface and to provide a fresh even colored base for the new paint to "bite" onto. Finally the car was ready for its new paint job. We refinished this Chevy with our Enamel paint in its original color, Black. We have painted thousands of cars from all over the Bay Area, many of them with this same "Peeling" problem! Call us for an appointment or just stop by our shop for a free estimate on fixing your car's old faded paint!

2004 Toyota Corolla Paint Job!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Toyota Corolla. This peely-mobile came to our shop with plenty of old, unsightly paint barely clinging to its body panels. We began our restoration by first removing all of the failing, chipping paint, smoothing down the surfaces to an even paintable level so they would not show through our new paint. Once the panels were ready we applied a coat of "primer sealer" to seal the freshly sanded areas and to provide an even surface for the new paint to "bite" onto. Finally the car was ready for its new finish, the cars owner opted to have us re-paint the Corolla with our Urethane + Integrated Clear Coat paint, in the car's original color!

Video of One-of-a-Kind Lamborghini Crash
Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a one-of-a-kind Lamborghini concept supercar called the Giugiaro Parcour. This past weekend at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed (FoS) the Giugiaro Parcour was participating in the Supercar Run and spun off the race track into a hay bale wall. The damage is certainly repairable but the video is still hard to watch.

1993 World Rally Wagon.
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Subaru Impreza Wagon. This sporty gas saver came to our shop wearing nothing but primer. A friend of the owners primed the vehicle but did not finish it with new paint, leaving the surfaces vulnerable to rust beneath the primer! We began by repairing a few areas that were damaged by a collision, and unfinished by the previous body repair person. Once the bodywork was complete we sanded out all of the remaining chips and scratches and sealed the fresh surface with our own primer sealer! The car was originally green, instead of continuing its life with a run of the mill color, the owner decided to repaint it like one of Subaru's wickedly fast race cars. The color is called World Rally Blue, and the paint material is Almost-Everything's Enamel!
