Mini Coopers are small cars manufactured in the United Kingdom. Although originally built by the British Motor Corporation from 1959 to 2000, BMW bought the brand in 2001 and continued to build these cars at the BMW plant in Oxford, so manufacturing of Mini Coopers remains in the UK.
Although small, the Mini’s space-saving front-wheel-drive layout allowed 80% of the area of the car’s floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage. When production of the classic Mini ceased in 2000, BMW, the new owner of the brand, announced the new design was to be much larger than the original. The new car is MINI (written in capital letters), is nearly two feet longer and two feet wider than its original counterpart. It is commonly called the “BMW MINI” or the “New MINI”. These Mini Coopers have enjoyed immense popularity in North America and have been considered by some to be the British equivalent to the German-made Volkswagen Beetle.
Sameday uses approved systems to provide Mini Cooper owner’s throughout the northwest with the highest quality repairs. When refinishing paint scuffs and scratches, Sameday technicians use a European paint and clear coat system for perfect color and finish matches. We repair only the damaged area allowing the majority of the Mini Cooper’s original factory finish to remain intact. Damaged MINI leather seats and steering wheels are restored to “like-new” condition by application of Sameday’s water-base products for an eco-friendly interior repair option. Dents can be removed, often times without repainting, by using specialty techniques and scratches in interior plastic parts, such as the dashboard, are repaired with OEM approved systems.
Sameday uses the highest quality products and repair systems to help MINI Cooper owner’s preserve the value and integrity of their vehicles.
Although Sameday primarily repairs automobiles and leather, we have often times completed work to items that contain similar finishes. Among these random items have been phonographs, refrigerator doors, cash registers, generators, salad bars etc…
The following repairs were completed using only the finest repair products and each of these items were restored to pre-damage condition.
A rare and valuable antique such as this 1903 Victrola speaker can be valued at hundreds or in some cases perhaps thousands of dollars. Victrola speakers were designed by the Victor Talking Machine Company, an American corporation, and the leading producer of phonographs throughout the 19th century. With a priceless piece of history, such as this antique speaker, maintaining its authenticity and prolonging its life is crucial.
Because of the high quality and superiority of Sameday’s refinishing and repair systems, we were able to remove the minor dents from this prized Victrola. And when it came to the custom hand-painted gold stripes on the speaker, it was particularly important to keep as much of the original design and paint work intact; so rather than repaint the entire speaker, our technician was able to perfectly match the paint and repair only the damaged areas. Afterward the brass and tin sections of the speaker were shined and polished using the finest products in the industry. We were able to restore this Victrola speaker to its original pre-damaged condition and preserve the integrity and uniqueness of this timeless piece of history.
When this twenty thousand dollar custom designed salad bar was delivered with minor scratches on all four corners, Sameday received a call to complete the repairs. Using our approved paint refinishing techniques, we removed the unattractive scratches and refinished the damaged area using perfectly matched colored paint. Fortunately, instead of having this expensive piece transported back to the manufacture, incurring long downtime and costly transportation charges, Sameday was able to complete all of the repairs on-site in a matter of several hours, saving the customers time and money.
Sometimes large structures become regrettably damaged and there is no way to physically move the object to a repair shop. Such was the case when several interlocking aluminum wall panels became dented and scratched. With Sameday’s on-site repair service we were able to remove the paint scratches and dents from these interconnected panels in a matter of several hours (a process that had the panels been transported to a repair center would cost at least $15,000 as well as incur a prolonged repair time).

Our refinishing systems allow us to work for many types of clients, and complete repairs to a vast array of unique and valuable items such as dented refrigerator doors, custom designed salad bars, and antiques that have shown signs of aging over time.

Matching car paint colors is no easy task. Color identification is a mounting challenge in the auto industry because the variety of colors in the market is steadily growing. There are more than 60,000 colors around today, with an average of 1,000 colors added each year. One of the most important skills a refinisher can possess is the ability to reliably and quickly determine the right color for the job.
To support our customers, Sameday offers a full array of color matching tools to help get the correct color. Sameday’s digital color measurement via high-tech photospectrometer allows technicians to perfectly match any surface color. They also use Spies Hecker’s CRplus software which evaluates the electronically collected data and outputs a precise color formula in a matter of seconds. Whatever the job and whatever the finish, be it metallic, solid, or pearlescent, Sameday’s expert color matching systems will give you the best refinish solution available.
