We Paint Race Cars

Spend any amount of time around our shop and you are bound to see race cars. Almost Everything is well known in the race communities of Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway (or Sears Point as we still affectionately refer to it) and Thunderhill. We suspect that we paint more race cars than any shop in California and we enjoy getting to see customer cars on the tracks.

Toyota Prius Bumper & Tailgate Repair

Rear bumper and tailgate damage before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.

We fixed a dent in the tailgate, replaced the bumper and repaired the rear body on this 2013 Toyota Prius. A tricky element is the 3-stage pearl white paint. 3-stage paints achieve special shimmer and highlight effects by stacking translucent color layers on top of each other. Minor variations in color or thickness of a layer can result in poor color match. For this reason all good body shops will tell you that color matching on a 3-stage paint is difficult or impossible and that blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels is required for the repair to look less noticeable. Even with blending, there can be differences between paint applied to plastic vs. metal. So most insurance companies will not cover blending for bumpers and you may notice that the bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car.
