ZZ chop: The FORCE

Almost Everything was honored to have had the one & only Billy Budde in the shop today. Billy is no longer building motorcycles and his Suburban needs a paint job. So he was here for a quote.

Billy is a local hero. His San Leandro motorcycle shop anchored the custom scene in California long before places like Orange County Choppers and Jesse James Choppers existed. Click the links below for vintage article and current discussions about his revolutionary designs.

ZZ chop: The FORCE: ... is very strong in this one. Built by Billy Budde's from san Leandro, CA. Great idea for paint I must say, the marbelizing effect is ...

2007 Ford Explorer Color Change!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2007 Ford Explorer "Sport Trac". This pint-sized pickup came to our shop as another average looking, every day common, silverish-tan truck.  The truck's owner was tired of blending in and decided to have our shop paint it with a tad bit brighter color.  The chosen paint color was Ford's "Grabber Orange" more commonly found on late 1960's and early 1970's High Performance Mustangs, in our "Urethane Single Stage" paint material!

Lexus IS Complete Repaint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Lexus IS300. This sporty luxury sedan came to our shop on a trailer looking like none of the previously mentioned descriptive words. It was mismatched, faded and highly unappealing due to its multi-tone look. We corrected the issue using our basic "Single Stage Enamel" paint, in the car's original "Spectra Blue" color!
