Only 1 or 2 coats of clear, so it looks kind of rough, but it's a LOT smoother now with about 6 coats ;)

Well the Mirage is the green/purple, and is supposed to be sprayed on black, but I wanted some color underneath, so I did one half red and one half blue. No tape or anything, just met the colors in the spark plug valley... looks pretty weird, but awesome IRL. You can thee all the colorth, like a rainbow!~ :gay:

[Elbow]

Looks bad ass.

[fawk_you]

You just can't resist spray painting everything you get your hands on huh? jesus focus on doing some real work to the car instead of coloring like a 6 year old.

Well here's what I've done so far:

- Cleaned the inside (not calling it the interior. lol)
- KYB AGX shocks (came stock, 2 were bad)
- Ebay coilovers (had the wrong springs)
- Fixed exhaust leak
- Cleaned the engine bay
- Rolled the fenders to fit the...
- New rims and tires
- Flyin' Miata frame rail reinforcements
- Fixed the rattles/squeaks from the dash and exhaust
- Alignment (wore out the 2 front tires in the 2 weeks I had it)
- Installed the hood pins b/c it was being held down with a racheting strap
- Uncovered the door panels and installed
and I'm about to get an unbent hood and uncracked bumper...

krylon for the bases, then duplicolor for the "mirage" and clear. I generally use the wheel paint clear, though.

I knew it. Lol you guys and your spray paint. Enjoy it while it last.

[ed_gm90]

You're an ignoramus.

I've done this before and aircraft stripper wouldn't removed the paint after being ran on the car for 2-3 days. It gets baked and surpisingly acts like powdercoat.

Have fun paying a lot more for the same results, sweetheart :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

you wont be the only one with that valve cover under the hood soon.. :ninja:

[FasTech]

Pretty neat looking, Evan. It better have the rear wheels on it next time I see it or you have a judo chop coming your way, buddy. LOLOL.

[TSiFTW]

Nice looking. Gonna do anything else to match it cause I like it.
