Plastidip is NOT a replacement for paint!

A recent trend gaining popularity is "plastidipping" cars--coating exterior with a matte rubberized "plastic-y" coating. We like "Plastidip". . . just not for painting cars. It is designed to give extra grip & cushion on tool handles. We've gotten a lot of these "plastidipped" cars recently for repainting. Although Plastidip may look good for a short time, many people find it does not stand-up to the sun, peels when you don't want it to and then won't peel when you try to take it off. Plastidip cannot be painted over with automotive paints and doesn't sand like normal automotive paint. Repairing cars with it has required us to go millimeter by millimeter, chipping off improperly applied fake paint. So if your car is in need of a paint job, we're begging you, bring it to us, a real automotive paint shop where we guarantee our work against peeling!

1993 Jeep Wrangler Full Exterior Paint Job

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a faded 1993 Jeep Wrangler. This off-road fun machine came to our shop looking old, faded and overall tired and worn out!  It had sat and gathered dust in a field somewhere for years. The sun had its way with the Jeep's paint! The once glossy red turned to a flat pinkish hue while the black top transformed into a chalky grey. We separated the hardtop from the truck's body, refinishing the top with our straight jet black Enamel while repainting the rest of the Jeep using its original factory red paint code! This Jeep left our shop glossy, looking like new again, and almost too shiny for the Rubicion!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1990 Honda Accord.  This dependable little coupe came into our shop looking terrible! its original paint was mostly gone and its body had been covered in some type of strange primer!  Since the car's owner "prepped" the car before it was dropped off, we simply completed our basic prep work before painting; Chemically cleaning the car, Scuffing all surfaces with an abrasive hand pad, and masking of all windows, lights and trim! Once everything was ready to go we layed on our paint, two coats of high grade "Single Stage" Enamel paint, in the original Honda color!
