    Toyota Supra Turbo - Massive Correction | Oakes

    One of the most iconic cars in existance today, as we all very well know, has come through my doors. An example from 1995, mostly original paint and set up perfectly for that fun back road warrior and track day monster. After seeing my work on other Supras as well as various exotics, the owner...

    Lamborghini LP640 Roadster by Oakes, with a dose of McLaren!

    We made a trip up to Fabspeed Motorsports after Dave called us to do some work on a few cars they had, initially this LP640 roadster they had just completed a full exhaust on. Which I must add, really opened up the sound of the V12! This is one of my personal grail cars to hopefully grace my...

    Three Audi R8 Corrections by Oakes!

    35. The third is another 2009 Audi R8 V8 six speed with matching Daytona Grey side blade, this one was one of my favorite color combinations with the burnt orange interior. The owner had concerns with some rough feeling to the paint, assuming some sand/sea water damage as this car lives at...

    Three Audi R8 Corrections by Oakes!

    I've had three different Audi R8 coupes come through my garage in the past month, figured instead of three separate threads, I'd compile them into one. A little more fun this way! Quick break down of the three different cars... The first is a 2010 Audi R8 V10 six speed, with about 9k miles on...

    Preview to Future Write-ups from Oakes!

    I've been very fortunate with how busy I've been this year with working on some of the most exotic vehicles in existance, everything from Spykers to all original classic cars. However, being as busy as I have been, I've fallen behind on posting write ups that I enjoy sharing with you guys. So...

    ***Oakes' Shop Build***

    Thank you! Appreciate it and agree full There are plenty of updates, just haven't gotten around to posting yet. The drywall is all up, wiring all done. We've just been swamped with work - no complaints - so the painting and finishing touches are still to be done. I've got 12 cars inside at the...

    Oakes Detailed: Maserati GranTurismo - Grigio Goddess!

    I believe that is because it was an overcast early morning setting and the lighting inside really exposed the flake in the paint. Its a very heavy metallic so the direct lighting really brought out the color of the flake. Since it wasn't too bright out at 7am it may seem a bit darker than it...

    Oakes Detailed: Maserati GranTurismo - Grigio Goddess!

    I haven't seen the GranTurismos drop anywhere near as bad at the Quattroportes did, but I can see why the QP lost so much value - build quality just isnt there like it is on the GT! Thank you everyone! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for checking it out!

    Oakes Detailed: Maserati GranTurismo - Grigio Goddess!

    A 2009 Maserati Granturismo came to me for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating of the wheels and body using CQuartz. I previously detailed the owners last Maserati Quattroporte giving it the same treatment about a year ago. The Grigio Granito is a stunning color for this Masi...

    Oakes Detailed: Ferrari F430 Spider - Project from Hell!

    Thanks everyone! Appreciate the kind remarks! The Ferrari badges, depending on the year, are flush bolts or screws. Most badging from other makes is held on by double sided tape and requires replacing the badge when removed.

    Oakes Detailed: Ferrari F430 Spider - Project from Hell!

    Thank you everyone! This car is one of many owned by the same individual and after some electrical issues and time being taken for repair the car ended up sitting much longer than desired. Thus resulting in the condition it was in, simply was stored in the body shop, not needing repair and was...

    Oakes Detailed: Ferrari F430 Spider - Project from Hell!

    In a word, this car was a nightmare. After sitting in the corner of a body shop for nearly 14 months, the car suffered quite a bit of damage. Other factors contributed to the condition, but this sub 3k mile Spider looked aged in the least. After a total of 56 working hours removing layers and...

    RennTech Mercedes SL55 AMG - Corrected by Oakes

    I recently corrected a Renntech Stage 4 Mercedes SL55 AMG in Magma Red, which is a rare color seen on this car. The Mercedes came in with some heavy marring and swirling that needed to be taken care of as well as touch up repair. Interior work was minimal as the car, being an 03, only had about...
