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. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1384249663 |
Props for such an epic build!
Amazing amount of work going in the car! |
Told you laguna seca blue was sick ;).

There's rust on this car? Where?
That blue with bronze wheels will be sick! (<== See there you younguns', old guy using Millineal lingo -- I "almost" said groovy). We'll need a group photo of you with Fire and Curly. LOL! |
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. |
Woot! Great color choice. You will not be disappointed.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1328308248 Someone mspaint in black rockers so I can see the comparison. |
Just look at the cars in Fireindc's and Curly's signatures.
Tangentially related: Does Curly's sig pic bother anyone else? It has that aliased edge look. |
I turned off signatures a long time ago because I can't stand scrolling through them. I'll check their profiles.

I do think the black rocker look is the way to go.

Black rockers are nice from the standpoint of being able to fix deep gouges/scratches with a bit of flat black spray paint. I seem to do a bit of that after each track day. LOL.

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: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1384278867 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. |
I came in on page 5 and was going to suggest Jeffbucc search for a cheap/used rotisserrie. By the end of page 5 he was practically finished.

edit: double post, might as well include a different picture.
