painted them urself eh? I need to quit being a pussy.

Pen2_the_penguin 04-03-2010 01:24 AM

I also wanted to know how hard is it to paint yourself... I am too, a pussy to do that.

miataspeed2005 04-03-2010 09:24 AM

I was a pussy myself.... I decided I'm to poor to be paying a body shop and bought a gun for $20 off eBay... It's soooo easy, honestly it's easier than rattle cans. In the fall I might paint the whole car. The hardest part is sanding and prepping... Laying the color is cake, trust me just go for it.

Lookin good man, I wonder how it would look with the center section of the opening in you bumper in black.

For some reason I'm not digging the rear bumper...The front and sides look great. I'm thinking it is the mesh.

What size tires are you running on those rims?

miataspeed2005 04-03-2010 05:26 PM

205's I got a really good deal when I bought them... Wish they where 225's tho

nice

I too am scared of paint but my car needs it bad

Cspence 04-03-2010 07:33 PM

I thought you were painting the HT black....I guess we'll have to swap hoods so you can go all red, no sense in painting a carbon hood ;)

Only thing I see that I would have done different was not paint the door frame around the triangle windows....I think it'd look better if it was still black....IMO

Nag I'm keeping the carbon hood...after I put the red top on I regreted painting it red instead of black but oh well too late now, and I never new the triangle frames where black! It came like that on my car... I might paint them black now

What sort of paint did you use? I've always rattle canned small parts but never tried the big things.

Looks great btw.

seraph 04-03-2010 09:59 PM

Very nice!

turotufas 04-04-2010 12:31 AM

Fuckin nice job on the painting. I need to step my game up on my mines.

Pen2_the_penguin 04-04-2010 04:37 AM

shit this inspires me to try my own paint job... my fender needs it, so does my fading front bumper with minor scrapes... anyone know where I can get some brilliant black paint?

miataspeed2005 04-04-2010 08:17 AM

Car paint store lol

paulsub 04-04-2010 02:43 PM

Have you ever thought about cutting the bottom middle section of that bumper out?

miataspeed2005 04-04-2010 04:47 PM

^^%The front or back?

18psi 04-04-2010 05:03 PM

looks much better man.

holy shit if someone was to paint outside in the driveway like that here, they'd get a shitstorm coming:giggle:

scandmx5 04-04-2010 05:41 PM

cheers. gorgeous car

miataspeed2005 04-04-2010 07:40 PM

Man took the car out today and got so many looks :) in the other hand this IC makes my car spool a little slower :/

astroboy 04-04-2010 08:24 PM

Dude, we are going to have to take some good shots this upcoming weekend. The car looks great but I think you need to put some black on the top and windshield frame. The color looks like it matched up well, was the car repainted recently?

miataspeed2005 04-04-2010 08:28 PM

^^^ man don't even talk about my red top.. I regret not doing it black so bad, I didn't wanna copy vash and cspence tho

Black tops ftw. You should have done it.

rider384 04-04-2010 09:31 PM

What kit is that, GV?

astroboy 04-04-2010 09:39 PM

I am quite positive mine is the most lackluster of the ct mt faction. You'll see ;)

miataspeed2005 04-04-2010 09:44 PM

it's a GV rep called Wizdom

paulsub 04-05-2010 05:36 AM

Back bumper! looks good for aero except for the lower middle bit cut that out maybe put a diffuser/slant it.
Obviously exhaust's a consideration

miataspeed2005 04-05-2010 07:31 AM

^^^ yeah I thought about it but since I'm not a race car it's not a big deal to me
