Basic Paint on 2007 Honda Civic Coupe

This is an example of our least expensive Enamel Single Stage paint job. The customer chose not to fix damage to the existing paint such as delamination (peeling) and microchecking (cracking.) So there are imperfections that show under new paint when examined closely.

We will never recommend painting over delaminating or microchecking paint because these problems will cause the new paint to quickly crack, blister and peel. And for this reason we cannot offer a warranty. But for this customer's purposes, the cost met his needs and the result looks quite good from a short distance--certainly much better than when he brought the car in.

Color Change - You Deserve It!

Tired of your car? Or just hate the color? How about a new color instead of a new car!

Some caveats: don't change the color if your car is leased or you plan to sell it anytime soon.

Otherwise come to the shop to see sample colors and decide if you only need the outside (least expensive option) or if you want to pay to have the inside of your door jambs, under the hood and trunk painted too. The State of California does not record car colors. You will not need to report anything to the Department of Motor Vehicles. So pick a new color and start loving your car again.

Please note: we do not offer removing the engine, interior, windows, gaskets, wiring, hydralics, etc.

Matt Cresci's Mazda Miata Race Car

Our friend Matt Cresci sent us a photo this week (via Yelp!) of the car we repaired & painted for him back in March 2016.

Matt commented, "Took my 1990 Spec Miata Racecar to get a full paint job and some quarter panel bodywork at Almost Everything. Frank was straightforward, reliable, and to the point. They color matched my desired color (BMW Imola Red) and it looks fantastic. The rear quarter panel repair was also very impressive, as they made my abnormal, basketball sized dent disappear completely, which I know was no easy task. One of the body shop guys even helped me load the car back on the trailer once it was ready for pickup (little things count too!)

"I got the car painted much earlier in the year (March 2016), but waited to post my review so that

    1. I had a good picture to share to accurately demonstrate AE's work
    2. I could judge paint quality over time

"And sure enough, it still looks great today. Very happy, and look forward to bringing some other cars of mine here in the future."

Thanks, Matt. We think it would look even better with some "Almost Everything" decals on it.

Here's what it looked like while it was at the shop:

Collision Repair on Toyota Camry

Today's 2008 Camry had badly damaged doors and rocker panel. Allstate Insurance paid for the repairs. We replaced the front door and repaired the rear one and the rocker panel. Then we refinished the damage area with factory paint and blended new paint to the adjacent panels. This type repair comes with our lifetime paint warranty.

A New Car at 5% of the New Car Price

Today we feature a great car with low miles but its age was really showing in the paint and headlights. The owner's objective was to get a "new" car without the new car payment. So he changed the color, restored the headlights and fixed the delaminating or peeling paint & clear coat. He chose our Urethane Single Stage paint for a durable but economical finish.
