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!

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.
