Finished - Mazda Miata

Here's my latest car. A Lilac Pearl Mazda Miata.

The color is by Cobra Colors, and is part of a new line of pearls that is about to be released. It is a 3 stage system. The car is first painted in a black basecoat. That's right BLACK. Then the pearl paint goes on after that. I was amazed at how bright and vibrant this car came out. I put 4 or 5 coats of pearl paint over the basecoat. Each coat added vibrance and a better color shift. I am really impressed with the paint.

The kit was by Aoshima. The first one I've built, and it went together well with no drama.

This car was built right out of the box with no modifications.
Here's the pics. The pics of the interior really show the color shift well.

Very very NICE Matt!

The paint is glass smooth.......did you use any clearcoat or did it come out as is?

Superb!

Re: Finished - Mazda Miata

Looks good!
You didn't experience any problems with the paint looking foggy and greyish at some angles of light?
The reason I ask is because that's what happend all times I used a black base and a translucent paint on top.
This one for example.

Re: Finished - Mazda Miata

You built it so well, that your work outdoes the kit itself.

Any imperfection I can find is in the manufacturing of the kit, not your work.

May be hard to tell, but thats a huge compliment to you!
