Ownership Verified: Meet Luigi DeVito! That's right, another MX-5! Sorry.

How much does a full respray cost?

Asking for a friend ...

Looks awfully red. Still think the new ND MX-5 red would look really wicked, though.

Yep I'm sure it would, some people might see the colour as close to that once it's revealed. I think the colour that got put on the car had a bit more depth and pops just a bit more than the current MX-5 red.

That's a pretty open ended question - how big is the car, how much body work tidying needs to be done, how much prep work is there and who does it?

The only thing the quick colorizer I used wouldn't show is if it's pearl/metallic or not ;)

So....

The car has some color on it! Well... all you get for now is some B/W pics to keep you in the dark for a bit longer.







This weekend is assembly time and hopefully we can make it a sunday drive.

You should post the pic here! I would like to see how close it is to the real shade/paint type

It seems to be, but here is a dump of pictures anyway using my personal image hoster:

























 
I think it's blue, like this one:

I think he's even more of a troll than we think and it's actually grey. It's looking great now though, whatever colour it is. :)

I like your thinking. And yes, the car is looking absolutely fantastic.
