Fender Bender Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Honda Element. This handy little SUV came to us in need of some body repairs. Someone had recently backed into the front end of this poor Honda!  Luckily replacement parts are readily available to us, and we replaced the hood and the two hinges that support it. We then straightened and repaired a few bent sheetmetal parts so the new hood would align properly.  Since most aftermarket parts come in a satin black color, we repainted the new hood to match the rest of the vehicle and returned the car to its owner looking like that accident never happened!

1966 Ford Galaxy

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1966 Ford Galaxy. This massive classic came to us in need of body work and a new paint job. Many of its panels had been damaged, dinged, and dented over the years making this beautiful convertible quite unsightly. We began our process by first repairing all of the damage that the owner specified for us to fix, straightening and adding a light "skim coat' of plastic filler to the repaired areas to completely smooth out the once-damaged panels. Next we worked out all of the rock chips and scratches all around the car, masked off all of the windows and trim, and applied a primer sealer to the freshly sanded surface.  Finally the entire exterior of the car was refinished using the cars original "color code" to mix the paint, which when finished made this Galaxy look extremely glossy and new again!

Why? Because Race Car!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Mazda Miata. This is not your average Mazda Roadster, it is one of a fleet of Miatas that belong to Mr. Larry Oka, a local professional racing instructor! When he dropped this car off at our shop it looked terrible with many mismatched and unpainted body panels. We began with our basic prep, which is included with every one of our paint jobs; Chemically cleaning, Scuffing with an abrasive pad, and Masking all trim/windows so they wont get paint or "over spray" on them. Mr. Oka requested that we paint the car a very specific Ford Orange with our Enamel + UV protectant paint for an extremely bright and glossy finish that will stand out on the track for years to come!
