^^ Nice work, but I thought your just gonna get everything resprayed?



Nope, I'm probably the only guy on the planet dumb enough to say no to a free re-spray.

I have put so much work into learning and practicing my roller painting that I feel like I'm being cheated because of that accident.

I know that it's not rational but most of my pride in my car has come from me doing work on it myself. I have built/installed/tuned a Megasquirt ECU and I was the fourth person on the planet getting the Megasquirt working for fuel and spark on a Miata. I want to be the first person on the planet who has the perfect roller paint job on a Miata.

Half of the fun of this for me is achieving something that no-one else thought could be possible. So there is no way that I'll re-spray.


Tom, I used a 10:1 mixture of paint to mineral spirits on the bootlid. That lid does have a few minor dents in it and the area near the wing supports isn't very flat either, but since this thing is only for the track, I haven't been as anal as I have been with the rest of my car.
