Collision Damage on Infiniti G37 Coupe

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2009 Infiniti G37 Coupe that was hit on the front left corner. The fender and bumper were damaged plus a few parts were broken inside the body that were not visible initially. We took care of the insurance paperwork—including the claim supplements needed to pay for the hidden damage and quickly had the car looking good as new again.

1994 BMW 325iS Peeling Clear Coat

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 BMW 325iS. This sporty coupe came to our shop looking hideous! The original jet black paint had failed years ago and peeled away, leaving a crusty greyish white surface! The owner grew tired of looking at his BMW in delapitated shape, but did not want to break his bank on a paint job! Luckily we offer paint jobs for any price target, this particular paint job is one of our very basic "Single Stage" paints. The pictures will tell you that even a basic paint job on an old, beat up car can make it look much better, even on a tight budget!

1991 BMW E30 Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 BMW 318i "E30". This Classic European coupe came to our shop with its original paint in bad shape. It had faded and began to peel over the 20+ years of sun and UV ray abuse. We remedied that problem by sanding down all of the old delaminating, flaky paint. Next we sealed teh car with a primer, and finally painted the BMW with our "Enamel Single Stage" paint!
