1998 Toyota Corolla Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Toyota Corolla.  This economy sedan came to our shop with all of the usual "Toyota Problems" meaning its paint was peeling, faded, and chipping away. New paint does not like to sit on top of old peeling paint, upon our reccomendation the owner agreed to have us remove all of the failing "Delaminating" paint! Once that step was complete we applied a coat of primer sealer, painted the entire exterior of the car in its original color, cleaned it up and returned the Toyota to its amazed owner looking shiny and new again!

2003 Nissan Sentra Bumper Replacement + Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2003 Nissan Sentra.  This Nissan came to us with many unattractive problems, things such as; Peeling Paint, Rock Chips, Scratches, Fading, Old Paint, and to top it off, a massive dent in the Front Bumper Cover! We got a hold of an aftermarket replacement bumper cover to take the place of the damaged one after painting was complete. Before any painting could be done, we had to take care of the loads of peeling, chipping, faded paint. After sanding was completed, the entire car was coated in primer sealer, and lastly repainted in its original color!

1999 Mercedes Benz E320 Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Mercedes Benz E320. This mid-sized luxury sedan came to our shop as an invisible, boring, bland and fading white car. The owners had a paintjob in mind for their car but didnt want to keep the lifeless white color and decided to repaint their Mercedes with our "Two Stage Base Coat / Clear Coat" Paint, in a vibrant blue pearl color that is sure to turn heads, which was selected right out of our very own color book!

1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Painted and Customized!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe.  This rare 2 door SUV came to us with a failing paintjob that was done by a shop with "substandard" prepping procedures.  The last time this Tahoe was painted, the body wasnt even cleaned or scuffed prior to applying new paint, causing the freshly sprayed paint to lift.  We removed all of the "lifted" areas to bare metal to ensure that our new paint would adhere without a doubt.  This truck was refinished using our "Two Stage Urethane Paint" for an extremely close to factory finish, a deep wet shine, and a paint that will last through years of exposure to the elements!

Fremont's Paul Walker, Roger Rodas Tribute Meet

Almost-Everything's crew, as you can imagine, are a bunch of gear heads and are heavily into the local "Automotive Scene". "The Fast and the Furious" star Paul Walker and his freind Roger Roda's recent passing caused a giant shockwave through the car community, as they were a giant inspiration to many automotive enthusiasts. Recently plenty of meets and gatherings have been held in the local area, the largest being held at Fremont's Pacific Commons with easily over 1000 cars in attendance, all there to have a moment of silence for our "10-second-car-owing" childhood movie hero. Not all, but many of the cars pictured below were either painted by our shop, or have had work done by us. All photo credit belongs to Lower Standard's Ceasar Villasenor.

Video of 3 Lamborghinis on Fire!

We approach this with some guilty glee. You know we love reporting burning super cars. Today's Wreck of the Day is a trifecta. A group of 5 Lamborghinis were travelling in convoy from the city-state of Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The middle car lost traction and crashed into the center divide. The car behind it (not sure if it was the ugly BMW or one of the other Lamborghinis) crashed into an additional 2 cars then a bus hit the lot of them. Somehow 3 of the Lamborghinis, an Aventador and 2 Gallardos, ended-up on top of each other. Being Lamborghinis, they, of course, burst into flames. And there's video! Director Norazam of the local fire and rescue reported that drivers & passengers escaped without injury.

1985 Toyota Pickup Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1985 Toyota Pickup. This work horse came to our shop semi-repaired, unpainted and crusty looking. We began the restoration of this Toyota's looks by cleaning and scuffing the body panels to prepare them for the new coat of primer sealer that we applied soon after the prep was finished. Once the primer-sealer was applied, the truck was ready for its new coat of "Enamel + UV Protectant" Paint which we applied in the truck's original color!
