2001 Audi A6 Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Audi A6 Quattro. This luxurious sedan came to our shop with plenty of old peeling, chipping, failing paint.  This Audi will be sold shortly, the owner did not want to spend $5000+ on a paint job so he chose for us to refinish the car using our basic Enamel paint in its original color!

1965 Cadillac Coupe De Ville Paint Job

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1965 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. This classic "compact gas sipper" came to our shop in an unsightly grey coat of primer, which is both non protective against rust and non attractive to the eye! We started this paintjob by removing all of the rock chips and scratches in the existing primer, also sanding the hood, trunk and door jambs so those could be painted as well. Once the sanding was complete we applied our own coat of primer sealer to ensure proper adhesion. We painted this Cadillac with our "Single Stage" Enamel paint in jet black, baked the finish on and returned it to its pleased owner!

1966 Mustang Employee Project!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe named "Betsy." This old Mustang belongs to one of our employees. He and his dad got this car in extremely rough condition in 2002. After getting the chassis and powertrain in order the car sat from 2004 until 2013, gathering dirt, dust, spiders and plenty of surface rust. Believe it or not, the car has only been fully painted one other time in its life, which was when it was assembled in Milpitas, CA in 1965. The previous owner wanted to have the car painted orange. Luckily (for the people who frown upon bright "Chevy orange" colored Mustangs) he ran out of money while the car was still in primer. That was in 1978. Our team member stripped off all of the old primer and the surface rust captured beneath it and repaired the two front fenders which were handcrafted...er...mangled, by the previous owner with a big hammer. Our painter applied the purest black that we had in our color swatch book. Our team member chose to have his Mustang painted with our basic "Single Stage" paint to showcase how even a simple paint job can completely transform the looks of an old car that needs some love. *Don't mind the misaligned front bumper cover, our employee knows it is not mounted properly yet. He does not care at the moment as the car is still "under construction" and probably will remain that way until approximately mid to late August of the year 2035*

Mtech Inspired E30 Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1985 BMW 325E "E30". This classic bavarian came to our shop looking downright terrible! Its beautiful body lines had been covered in a halfway sanded off green paint like substance, completely tarnishing the car's resale value and "head turning" factor. This car's owner decided to do all of his own body work and sanding, leaving only the painting up to us. We completed all of our "basic prep" before the new paint was applied which includes; Chemically Cleaning, Abrasive Pad Scuffing, and Masking of all unpainted Trim. Once this was complete we refinished the E30 with our basic Enamel in a slightly different color; BMW's own "Calypso Red Metallic".

Another Exotic Car Immolates Itself

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Ferrari F430 Spyder. We've had a recent facination with absurdly expensive sports cars turning themselves to ashes. This one was parked in Florida when WreckedExotics.com says it "spontaneously combusted." Somehow reminds us of the song "I'm Too Sexy." These cars have so much potential that sometimes they just can't contain it and suddenly blow up without warning.

1986 Panel Van Transformation!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1986 Chevrolet van. Somebody decided to try their hand at a free paint job for the owners of this van, apparently not everybody shares the same taste in automotive finishes as the "artists" that painted this Chevy before us, and its owners had enough. They came to our shop looking to not break their bank, yet leave with great looking paint job. They decided on our "Enamel" paint material in a metallic turquoise picked right out of our color sample book! Before we could apply any paint to the van we removed all of the graffiti, rock chips, peeling paint, and other unsightly surface imperfections. Once the sanding was complete we applied a primer sealer, painted the entire exterior of the van, cleaned up all of the old spray paint from the chrome handles and returned the transformed Chevy back to its pleased owners!
