The color is "Polished Metal Metallic" and is a Honda color, from the
new '09 Accord. TONS of metal flake. The ghost stripe is the same paint mixed with white pearl and extra silver metallic flakes. The effect is subtle but looks fantastic in sunlight. This is a good day. Please excuse the camera phone pics. My painter kinda surprised me with this today. Real pics will come when I reassemble the car.

niiiiice!

Wow, awesome. I really like it, ghost stripes and all. I cant wait to see it put together.
|
I did not like that color when I worked at Honda. However, it looks GREAT on your car! Love the ghost stripes too!
|
I chose the color to compliment my nickel 6ul's. lol. I also got the smoked ebay marker lights and front turn signals.
|
looks great man. I'm not a fan of stripes at all, but yours actually look good...very nice
|
Not thrilled with the color or the flakes, but the paint looks good either way. Ghost stripes are pretty cool I suppose. Be sure to post more when its back together. Cant wait to paint mine.
|
very nice wish i could redo mine!!!
|
Kudos. Looking forward to seeing the finished product...

That looks sooo fucking good. I love the subtle stripPes. Those look siiicccckkkk.
|
Looks great, I like that the painter didn't just mask things off. Subtle stripes look good too, congrats!
|
Congrats! Nice paint job! Glad to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your painter. I've heard too many paint job horror stories.
|
looks great. I can't wait to get mine painted in a few weeks

Best I can do with the light available and my cheap camera. The car is kinda dirty from running around this week. I can't wait to put my Tein's on it!

Like the ghost stripes, although I dont like how the wheels look with that color.
|
uhg i cant wait to do bodywork and paint my car....
|
Exactly what I had considered doing on the black car-same color scheme except even more ghost/closer to base color stripes, like they almost weren't there...
I really like it. |
argh, I just want to wipe those stripes off, they look like streaks

I really like it. |
I felt the stripes were necessary to make the base color come alive. Without the stripes, well..........it's a color from a Honda Accord. :p
|
I think its one of the only miatas with a stripes that work, good job.
I also like those e-bay smoked turn signals, I may have to pick some up. |
it's fuckin' workin for me. nice.
|
That looks very similar to the color I painted my last NA. Needless to say I love it!
|
Trent the car looks awesome!
|
Wow. Ive never liked a striped car before this one. May I inquire how much an excellent job like this put you out of pocket?
|
thats right ^^^ that post count!!!! lol

got the front coilovers on today. My decision to replace the stock bushings with Energy Suspension Hyperflex bushings is making this whole process take forever. The grease that comes with the bushings is this disgusting sticky stuff, and it gets EVERYWHERE.
