Yeah, it definitely looks like a clean car, but I would have to paint it a gloss black, or a factory color. The flat black thing just doesn't do it for me....

The first pic has the Mazda emblem on the front and no stripes and the rest have no emblem and stripes, and the engine bay shots have gloss paint on the car still, Im confused as to what it looks like now...?

Anyway, looks like the body is straight, the engine bay is decently clean, no pics of the interior though, but if its in the same kind of shape as the rest, its probably pretty nice too! Looks good for the most part, I like flat black, but I dont like the rattle can flat black, you can see the variations in it too much. Keep up the good work and take care of it!

TJ are you the same TJ from MySpace on the Rx7Club there??? lol. Sorry if its not you. haha

First pic was before the stripes on it. Then I just posted random pics of the car that I had. The paint is just something I've been messing with. Nothin major but Im pretty happy with the job I did. The motor shot was from 2 weeks ago before I painted it. Thats why its still glossy.

Hey that actually is pretty clean man. I like the flat black for what it is. How long did it take you to finish that? I'm going through my car prepping for paint too. Every time I think I'm close I find another ding or dent I want perfect before I spray it. I'm thinking a nice red too.

Look for a product called "Seals All" at your local parts store.

Side moulding is held on by a double sided tape. Check with your local autobody paint supplier. 3M makes it.
