Due to the odd sense of obligation I have towards this cars integrity and quality, I decided not to say "**** it" as I ninja star threw my chisel into the garage door in frustration and painted over the undercoating.
100% undercoat free totaling 25 lbs. The entire gallon of truck bed liner only weighs 5 lbs and I doubt I'll use more than 3/4 of it. Unintentional win. I need to see if I can grind out some of the rust, if not I'll put some rust converter on it and call it a day. I'm painting tomorrow. I can't feel my arms anymore.

I agree on the bronze/blue looking sick. Good choice of words Rick.
I disagree on the rockers needing to stay black. When i repaint my car it will absolutely have color matched rockers, because i love how the car flows with them matched. As long as you paint your front lip to match it can look great.

Hey bro (This is Brad, hi).
I'm going to have to argue against the LS Blue. As a BMW Douchebag I vote for the estoril blue or Audi/Lambo grey. Single stage white is ez and cheap though. The single stage and 2-stage white on my two 325i's look very very similar in sheen and color. Making it more incognito may help unless you plan on having a garage/different place soon.
Bronze on grey, and this is a brighter bronzish color:
Those wheels would look great with the grey.
Send me a side shot of the wheels with tires and I can shop something up for you in diff colors if you'd like.
You're work is amazing man! Boy I tell ya as soon as I do everything my wife asks me around the house I'll reattach my ballz and go to work as well. And then...we drive!
Edit: I vote colored rockers as well, seeing grey/black rockers makes it look like a cheap trim option IMO.

Win either way. The gray looks great and would look great with bronze wheels too. But the blue is such a great Miata color.
That's my vote. LS blue... estoril blue is awesome too though.
