Help me pick a color for the miata

You've gotten some VERY tasteful suggestions. How about just going nuts?

Safety yellow with silver stripes. Bonus if the silver is reflective.

Or add high-visibility orange for something different

Full retard:

Color picked. Supplies purchased. Test piece completed.

I guess the only question now is on the windshield frame: body color, or black to match the top?

Or silver / chrome (vinyl wrap, maybe?) to look like a Solstice?

Black will look more modern, body color will look more period-correct.

Not too concerned about period correct on this one....

Unless 90s ricer counts.

Who wants to guess what color i picked?

Except pat. Cause he can cheat.

We shoot Sunday. My first time running the gun. Expect mediocre to poor results.

Can't wait to see the finished results. I won't let the cat out of the bag on which color you picked but I will say it should hopefully cut down on all the random people running into your car.

Will those people have 2 seconds added to their time if the knock the car over?

Lol.

Im excited. This has been a really fun project. Needed something like this.

And John, let me know if you want to let those wheels from the beater go. I want to paint them white. Would look damn good.....

Looks great. I had guessed orange but the blue looks great.

In reply to John Welsh :

I thought the orange was just too flashy for a sawed off Italian social worker. So the blue seemed a little bit more subtle.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to come off as looking crazy.

But, yes, the blue is both playful and professional.

Looks great. Is that the NA "Smurf Blue"?

Rustoleum sail blue from a quart can.

Full details are in the drivabeater 3.0 thread over in the build thread section.

Looks good!

Olive Green / Dark Gray
