So when the cobra is sleeping in the garage and I'm not breaking it or putting the miles on it.. I drive a little $700 1994 Mazda Miata. I freaking love these cars. They are little go-karts.. so fun to drive, and very durable. Not to mention they're cheap and get great gas mileage.. (and not bad for autocross either).
Well since this one was only $700 it needed paint pretty badly.. it had been sanded all over the body and had some dings here and there, so my boyfriend being obsessed with plastidip gave me the idea of dipping the car as a cheap paintjob. So thanks to dipyourcar.com and about two days worth of painting, my little daily is now Koi Orange.
Here's some pics!
Before:
The car started out black, and you can see in these pictures the areas where the paint wasn't so good. You can also see the cobra hiding in the garage. :coolman:
(my plate frame says, My other car is a SVT Mustang Cobra :rockon
So then we did a white baselayer of dip so the orange would really pop..
Then lastly.. the finished product! Koi Orange!
Even dipped the wheels and did a little hand customizing hubcaps of the "Evil Mazda M". The dip on the tires and exhaust tip will come off while driving.
Before and After:
Took 6 cans white dip as a baselayer, then 2 gallons and 5 coats of Koi Orange.
Huge improvement from what it was. Thanks for looking guys! :beer:
