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!

Thanks to WreckedExotics.com for the photos and alerting us, as always, to the destruction of another exotic car.

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!
