1970 Pontiac GTO Complete Restoration!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1970 Pontiac GTO.  This Classic Muscle Car came to our shop *LOOKING* decent.  Under the seemingly okay finish unbeknownst to anybody, lay some serious, serious, bodywork to be done before painting.  The car had been "Repaired" before, years ago by a "Professional Hack Artist", nearly 100% of its body panels had been skimmed with an absurd amount of body filler, hiding the improper "Repairs" beneath it.  Once we had the car stripped, we discovered that the Quarter Panels, Doors, and many other miscellanious panels were in dire need of replacement.  Some panels were replaced using reproduction parts such as both Quarter Panels, the Decklid Filler, and a handful of other parts. Some panels were not so lucky, who would have thought a 44 year old collectors car would be so hard to find parts for?  The areas thatwere impossible to replace due to lack of parts were repaired, grafting recycled sheet metal in place of old rusted metal, and finishing with a much lighter skim of plastic filler.  Once the body was all taken care of, we applied a Primer, then block sanded the whole car, exposing every single imperfection. Once everything was straight and smooth we Painted the GTO with our "Performance Base, Clear" paint in its original color!

 You thought you were done reading didn't you? Well luckily for you the process didnt stop after painting, once the paint was dry we "Wet Sanded and Polished" the entire car to remove any dust specs, or contaminants found in freshly sprayed paint.  Also this process removes the natural texture called "Orange Peel" leaving the cars finish as smooth as glass, like a true show car's paint job should!

2003 Ford Crown Victoria Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2003 Ford Crown Vic. This ex-police car came to our shop as a huge flat white freeway barge. The paint was old and faded, the car's owner wanted new paint but he wanted something much more menacing. He decided to be "unique" and had us paint his Crown Vic with our Enamel Single Stage paint in our deepest darkest blackest black that we have available! We are sure many people will love to see this car in their rear view mirror, as nothing says "I'm totally not a cop" and "Hey, let's be friends" quite like a Blacked out Crown Victoria with Push Bars and Spotlights!

1994 Ford Mustang Color Change

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Ford Mustang. This car came to our shop in typical 5.0 fashion: Flat-Blackish primer. Not wanting to drive around like the other 99.95% of flat black early 90's mustangs in the Bay Area, this Ford's owner decided on a color that is very unique for this body style of Mustang. He decided to have us paint the car using our Enamel Single Stage paint, in Ford's "Reef Blue" color!

Video of Lamborghini Aventador Crash

We wonder what the Mazda driver's insurance rates were after this crash. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a special edition Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 called the "Nero Nemesis." Amazingly, it was all caught on video. Lots of debate on internet over who was at fault--was the Lambo going too fast? Or was the Mazda driver just oblivious? (We fall into the camp of the Mazda driver needed to yield to traffic.) Either way, no one was seriously injured. DuPont Registry lists a Lamborghini Aventador Nero Namesis at $450,000. The crash happened on Sloane St. in London, England.

Thanks, as always, to our friends at WreckedExotics.com for e-mailing us with the photos and video.

1997 Lexus SC300 Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1997 Lexus SC300. This ahead of its time luxury coupe came to our shop looking very un-luxurious. Its original paint had failed a while back, leaving the car peeling and flaky. Our remedy is very straight foreward and effective, we first Sanded the car to remove the peeling, ugly old paint, and sealed the surfaces with a primer-sealer. Once that was starting to dry we finished the job with our Enamel paint!

1998 "Honda Integra" Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1998 Acura Integra. This Integra underwent some surgery before coming to our shop, its front end had been converted to the Japanese Domestic Market type body. In normal terms, this is how Integras look in Japan, where they are not branded as "Acura" rather they were sold under Acura's mother company name; Honda! With the replacement front on being white, naturally the car needed paint, we began by sanding all of the chips, scratches and other imperfections out of the old paint, sealing the car with a primer and finally painting the import in its original color with our Premium "Base Coat / Clear Coat" 2 Stage paint!

2007 Honda S2000 Color Change! "Project 'Merica"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2007 Honda S2000. This vicious little roadster came to our shop in pretty good condition however, it did have one problem, it was red. The car's owner wanted a color that stood out from the rest of the Thousands of Red, Yellow, and Silverstone "S2K's" and decided to have us repaint his car with a bright blue metallic, picked right out of our color book! The paint material that was applied to this car was our "Performance Base Coat / Clear Coat" paint. Once painted, the entire car was "Wet Sanded and Polished" for a show car shine and texture! At the end of this S2000's journey, only deep inside the engine bay remained the original red color, with its blue exterior and white Volk replica wheels, it had earned itself the title "Project 'Merica" due to its Patriotic color scheme.
