Yes, we can paint just parts

Customer wants to install bumper himself. Asks Almost Everything to paint it for him.

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is. . . a bumper, no car, just the bumper. A customer asked us to paint a junk yard part so he could install it himself. We were happy to oblige. He also supplied the color code. We caution customers that color codes do not insure exact color matches. Different factories, different paint suppliers, different batches, humidity, temperature, paint application technique, settling of paint ingredients can all contribute to startling differences in a single paint color from the manufacturer. So it is always best to have the car present during painting so we can compare the computer generated formula with the actual color on the car. Even then, it is impossible to match things like fading that can vary from the top to the bottom of the car.

2005 Pontiac GTO (a Holden Monaro in Disguise)

Pontiac GTO repainted "Cyclone Grey" at Almost Everything Auto Body

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Pontiac GTO (enthusiasts will also recognize it as a Holden Monaro designed & built by GM of Australia.) It is a rare beast in the USA (emphasis on beast.) We love the understated design and the gigantic engine lurking beneath. This one arrived at the body shop with some dents and painted black. It left with a clean skin painted "Cyclone Grey."

Crunch! Collision Repairs on 2010 Prius

Prius with collision damage before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body

This poor Prius had a bad day. We replaced the bumper, headlamp, wiring harness, fender, wheel, door and some internal parts and repainted everything with the factory paint. The story ends happily with the insurance company paying for repairs and the Prius good as new.
