New Paint?
I have a Classic red NA miata that Im planning on painting. What color should I paint it? I want to paint the car some sort of Dark Gold/Bronze or should I re-spray it Red? Also planning on getting a hardtop hopefully black. Pictures would help and paint code. Give me some advice. Thanks!

As long as you stick to any shade of red, you won't have to worry about door yams and the engine bay.
Otherwise the paint job gets expensive. And as soon as you get a chip the previous color will show through.
I know my car was repainted Sunburst yellow with extra pearl. And where the paint is chipped the red shows through. LOL
Same with my brothers old 65 Chevy truck. Everytime the paint would chip, black would show through.

color change adds a lot of complexity. If you stick to red, assuming your body is not too bad and the paint isnt peeling (which i havent seen on any miata) you can just scuff it down with 400 or 600 grit, fill in any dings and whatnot, and have it painted. Will be much cheaper if you have a shop do all the work also as opposed to a color change.
