Default Sneak Peek at my new paint!!!

ok so the camera and my lights don't do it justice. In person and in the sun this paint is insane.

Looks great!
Reminds me of a bass boat we had growing up called "Bangles and Beads" after my Dads favorite Sinatra song. Everything on it was purple metal-flake, black, or chrome. We had a matching trailer... it looked the business! Can't wait to see the whole car. Are you going with stock body panels/bodykit/what...?

For now stock body with the exception of a racing beat type II nose. I can't wait to see it in person either. I need to drive this car!

And? You are going to paint your Miata that color? Seems like a lot of work, unless you leave the engine bay and trunk the original color - Or is your car already painted in a greenish color? New name for you - "The GREEN HORNET" :gay:

P.S. What's up with the funky flower pot?

yes miata will be painted that color, engine and trunk are black and will stay black, but all jambs will get sprayed. I know it's a lot of work but i won't be doing it.

the flower pot, i don't know it's moms

What shop is doing your paint? Are they decently priced? I'm looking into some paint next and my folks live in the philly area.

a friend of mine is doing the work partly at home and partly at his work(body shop) He is charging me 2000-2500. which is a really good price. However 75% of the body panels on my car are brand new (accident) and will need no work and the rest of the car is pretty smooth. He is currently building a huge shop at his house and plans to do side jobs and custom work all the time. I guess depending on the condition of the car and what you're looking to have done will really determine the price.
