I'm actually very disappointed. I was looking forward to the blue/yellow pairing. Beyond the fact that it won't rust, it'll look like a bunch of wire wheeled bolts. You've gone this far, I'd return them and get what you wanted.
That being said, further down the line if you ever want to match hardware to the zinc stuff, this clear would probably be a lot easier to match.
Leave all the bigger brackets like the diff brackets, battery bracket, and PPF bracket clear I guess, you won't really see those.

Well I flip flop more than a politician. I kept staring st the bolts repeating to myself that it was OK but something finally snapped and after spending so much damn time cleaning the bastards I didn't want to put them back on the car.
They just look....raw, almost like fence bolts. Ugly is the word I'm looking for.
Called up the plating shop and asked...wtf. He apologized and said he'd fix it for free. So I taped the box back up and sent them back.
Gold is right for the Miata and for the color the car is.

Roll bar padding came in so I decided to cut the holes in the body and do a test fitting of the bar. Think I may need to go a hair wider/longer so that I won't have to drill the holes at an angle. I'd love to keep it as narrow as it is since it looks great but I'd rather not mess karma.
Can't wait for those damn bolts!
(ok I had 2 bolts)
Just need to buy a foot long 3/8" drill bit.

I'm proud of you. That's exactly the right attitude for doing quality work. Looking at how fast you go, it must have been really hard.
Props to the plater for standing behind his work. It was an honest mistake. And just think, your bolts will now be double plated. 50 years from now, they'll still be perfect!
