Get Rid Of That Ugly Peeling Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1993 Acura Legend.  This blackish/whitish/crusty luxury sedan came into our shop in dire need of a paint job. We started our painting process by first sanding all of the peeling areas down, making them smooth so they would not show through the new paint while also removing all of the rock chips and scratches. Next step was to apply a sealer, a neutral colored primer that provides a solid, even colored surface for the new paint to "bite" onto. Once the sealer was sprayed on, we began to apply the new paint! This car's owner is selling this vehicle. They decided to keep the original color and chose our Enamel paint for an affordable great looking finish!

1996 Mazda 626 Painted!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Mazda 626. This economical sedan came to our shop with plenty of areas to repair. Its original paint had begun to fail years ago, leaving an unattractive flaky, "oxidized" looking paint surface behind! This is a common issue on cars of this era. We refer to it as delaminating paint, a condition where the car's clear coat peels off of the color beneath. We began by removing all of the problematic peeling areas by sanding them smooth. Next up was a coat of primer sealer which provides an even colored surface for the new paint to adhere to. Finally we repainted the entire exterior of the Mazda with our "Enamel + UV protectant" paint in the car's original black!

Tesla Model S Crash

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a 2013 Tesla Model S--the first one we know of to wreck. Almost Everything is located about 5 miles from the Tesla factory so we are fortunate to have Tesla employees as customers and to see Teslas every day.

This was a serious crash but the driver was uninjured.  In addition to being blindingly fast, handling better than virtually anything on the road and getting the best fuel efficiency, the National Highway Safety Administration says the Model S is the safest car ever tested. We want one.

Thanks to our buddies at WreckedExotics.com for sending us more photos to cry over.
