it will look good when you get some gunmetal rims, and and a cf hood, in my opinion. but the paint looks good

haha no the body work and everything took me a couple weeks sorking every now and then but i painted it overnight. The mods on the car so far are a D16Z6 motor swap and rear discs from my old del sol, Ground Control Coilovers on Tockico Blues, a AEM intake with HKS filter, Autopower Roll Bar, Sparco Harnesses and Steering wheel. Plans for the near future are gunmetal with a polished lip miata wheels, CF hood (i didn't get the paint perfectly even on the hood) and duckbill and a Sparco Speed seat

not too bad. It doesn't look as glossy as I would expect it for new paint, but nonetheless, I give an A for doing it yourself. how many coats and what kind of paint did you use. Not color, (ppg or dupont?)

Nice looking color. Motor swap would be nice, if you have the money. Don't know

if you said you had a swap. Didn't feel like reading the whole thread. Anyways,

Blk or Gunmetal Wheels would do wonders to the car, also I guess a CF Fiber hood

can make it stand out more.

good job on the paint job, although it looks more light green than blue to me.

Nice job laying down the paint, although the color isn't doing it for me.

Around here that color is called "no-sale blue"
