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!

Not Your Typical Off Road Vehicle

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is yet another Ferrari 458 Italia. We commend exotic car owners for actually using their cars instead of letting them wither in a garage. However, we think that this owner might do better to leave the car at home. May we suggest a Jeep, Land Rover or Land Cruiser for this type adventure? More fun and faster too!

1984 Dodge Ram Van Restored!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1984 Dodge Ram Van. This old-school conversion van came to our shop in dire need of lots and lots of help. As the pictures show, all of its original paint had either failed or had been sanded completely off! Since bare metal rusts extremely quickly we got it inside our shop as soon as we could, and began a sanding process of our own. We started by removing all of the old, failing paint with an extremely abrasive power sander, this took the exterior of the van down to bare metal in most areas. Once the sanding had been finished it was ready for primer, we sealed the entire van with our premium "Etching Primer"--a sealer that "eats" into the surface that it is applied to. As soon as the sealer was applied, the van was ready for two coats of new paint. The owner decided to have the van refinished with our "Bay Blue Effect" Enamel + UV protectant paint, for a long lasting durable finish that stands out from the crowd!

Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Unintentional Snow Plow

Please click the "Vote" button then select us for Best Bodyshop in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is an early Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. When I think of Rolls Royces, this is always the car I imagine. I like the classic, flowing lines of the single headlamp version more than the later dual headlamp models. It lost control on the highway in Monts-Verts, France. Hopefully it will be put right and be back on the road again.

Bentley Continental GTC First "Ding"

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day returns to the good ol' USA today where this once beautiful Bentley Continental GTC (base price $191,400.00) had a "parking mishap." Don't you hate it when you get that first "ding?" In this case, the Bentley driver dinged the parked BMW behind it and several other cars in New York City.

Mercedes Benz Gullwing Flies into Lake!

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day happened in Liupanshui, China. The car is (was) a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing. The owner lost control and flipped the car into a pond. Amazingly, he survived without any significant injuries. The megabucks car was not so lucky.

Gold Plated Audi R8 Crash

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a "gold plated" Audi R8 in Hamburg, Germany. We're not sure there is any actual gold involved. . . other than the money that went down the drain when this happened. As is most often the case, the driver was at fault. He ran after a police chase ended when he hit parked cars. It isn't clear if it was the owner who was driving or a thief who the owner claims took the car.

1991 Nissan Silvia Refinished

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Nissan Silvia, this car started out as an American market Nissan 240SX Coupe. The car's front end underwent a radical conversion to look like its Japanese market counterpart. Most aftermarket and replacement parts do not come painted to match the car that they are going on. This particular car had not been refinished since its new front end panels were installed and the whole car had been sprayed with a flat black primer making it look terrible! We made this Silvia look much better by first applying our own primer sealer to ensure that the new paint would adhere to the vehicle's surface and to provide a uniform base layer for the drastic color change that was coming. The car was originally black. Opting for a very glossy and clean look, the owner chose to refinish the car with "Championship White" in our Enamel + UV protectant paint!
