1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa Factory Repaint

Today's Car of the Day is a pristine 1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa with only 57K original miles. However the original paint had reached the end of its life. Paint on the hood, fenders & cowl had started to lift and crack. We sanded the paint off the front of the car and refinished it with factory match paint then wet-sanded and polished to match the original factory gloss.

Car of the Day - 2004 Honda S2000 with Microchecked Paint

Today's car is a great little racer, the Honda S2000. This particular car looked faded because it had some poorly done bodywork and paint. The old paint was microchecking. This condition is also known as "lacquer checking." Microchecking means that the paint has started to fail and crack apart. It can be a serious condition for your car that leads to rusting and premature failure of the metal. Maaco-Fremont stripped the car down to bare metal, re-applied primer & repainted the entire vehicle using an economical but high quality enamel.
