Hey guys, My name is Seth and I live in the wonderfully boring land of Kansas. However, despite the boredom and excessive wind found here, I managed to find an FC that needed paint and had a "bad transmission" that I grabbed for $1500. Ended up that one of the tranny cooler lines had a bad clamp, so I fixed the problem for about $6. Anyways, leather interior is immaculate, and the interior only has one cracked vent

I took after the article in Sport Compact a while back and bought a boatload of cans of Krylon Semi-Flat black paint, and got rid of the nasty Maaco peeling yellow paint job that was exposing a significant amount of the original white color, and went to town flat-blacking my car.

Anyways, here are the pics. Enjoy, and I look forward to being a part of the forums.









Comments welcome. Criticisms as well. You guys have a great day.

 

very nice

 

i've always loved flat black vehicles

 

nice ride

 

I like the grassy pic mrtiddles. Not sure about the flat ... what are the plans for the future?

 

Well I went with the flat because the previous paint was AWFUL, and a spraypainted flat black really does make it look better than before. It was very faded yellow with no clearcoat, and severe peeling; revealing the stock white paint underneath. Anyways, as soon as I can afford it, I plan to paint it one of the Mazda stock blue colors.

 

nice vert!

 

looks... unique!

 

seems bit sloppy from the 3rd pic, but guess it's better than yellow and white

 

looks great.

 

word homie

 

where you at in kansas

theres quite a few of us on here

beautiful vert though

 

Great looking vert. $1500 is a steal. Welcome to the club.

 

I'm down in Wichita. Thanks for the compliments guys. And believe me, if I had my way, it wouldn't be rattlecanned flat-black. It'd be a REAL paintjob. But, as of now, it does look better than what it did.
