    Nice! Rogue how much paint did it take to do your Miata? ^^

    Dunno, I buy 9700 by the gallon….
    All the Brilliant Black Miata's I paint get 9700. (unless customer wants to keep PZ)
    It is pure black, not the typical Mazda color with 2 drops of white that makes it creamy.
    When you see 9700 next to a PZ is certainly noticeable, but alone just looks super nice stock.

    Well I landed on a paint color but not by choice by iffy body work. My flares look great in primer but I doubt I can get them good enough for black and I know I am going to have cracks sooner or later in the body work. So I have decided to go with white because that hides a world of problems. Then to add distraction to it blue stripes front to back and red GS stripes on the drivers front and pass rear fenders.

    I really think this paint combo will make any blemishes in the body work less noticeable.



    I think the flares and big wheels on my car will help but I can't figure out why it dosn't look as good on a Miata as it does on a Cobra.



    Must be the side pipes or something.
