Almost Everything'sCar of the Day is a 1986 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible. When this "Peoples Car" came to Almost Everything it had lots of "wear and tear" type damage on the body sides such as; dings, dents, scratches and gouges. All of these are to be expected from a paint job of this cars era. We began by removing certain dings and dents and sanding the entire outside of the car to remove any rock chips and scratches. We then masked off all trim pieces and areas that were not to be painted such as the convertible top and windows. Once the prep work had all been completed we applied a primer sealer so the new paint has a solid surface to "bite" onto, and finally we refinished the entire exterior with our Enamel + UV protectant paint in a very rich non-metallic red that the owner picked right out of our color book!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is this 1995 Toyota Camry. This car had many of the common problems commonly found on this generation of camrys, such as the peeling "delaminating" paint, some microchecking (a condition where the primer beneath the paint fails creating a "checked" looking surface), and some minor dents and surface scratches. We repaired / removed the paint in these areas, worked out a few dings, primed and repainted the car with its original black color.
Almost Everything'sCar of the Day is a 1994 Chevrolet C1500 Pickup. When this classic step-side truck came to Almost Everything, its original white paint had seen better days. The clear coat was delaminating or "peeling." It had lots of rock chips and scratches. And it was simply in need of new paint! We began by removing certain items that we were to be either replaced or reinstalled after the paint had been completed, repaired and smoothed some dings and dents in the body sides, and removed the peeling paint by machine sanding the surface until it was smooth. Once the body work was complete, we masked off all remaining trim pieces and the windows, sealing the smooth surface with a primer and finally refinishing the entire exterior of the vehicle with our premium Base Coat / Clear Coat paint! We re-assembled and replaced the items that were taken off prior to paint, detailed the interior and exterior, and finished off the truck's new look with some menacing looking black housing taillights!
