Great turnaround. The Miata is a great , tossable car that is reliable, mod friendly and well balanced. You breathed new life into the paint

Nice job!! (Coming from another Miata owner!!)



Was it single stage paint or clearcoated?

Looking good, Hansen.....excellent work on the paint!



You can never go wrong with a black car with tan interior, in my book. Especially a convertible!

Now all you need to do is drop a Ford 302 V8 in that thing and it would be awesome, amazing turn around though!
