Looks good I pained mine metallic black. Something I did you may want to consider. Take a piece of sandpaper and wrap it around something hard (2x4, something like that) and sand off where it says MAZDA. It looks really cool with the contrast of the paint and bare aluminum.

After you scrape the "top" of the word mazda, be sure to clear coat the bare metal so that is does not rust in a few weeks .

Just my .02c Looks great though, mine have been painted red as well.

Good job on the painting, I don't like the red persoanlly, but nice job. I hope you used some sort of high temp paint.
