Couple of pics of my baby. Hopefully it looks even better after it gets cut and buffed

 

Nice! I'm dreaming of the day I finally get my damn car painted .

Thank you Dale! Appreciate the comment

 

Looks nice. Nothing like new paint to make a car look new.

 

That along with refreshed moldings and trims make my knees weak! If you got OEM new windshields to finish it off?

 

My R1 is getting it all - new moldings and trim are being installed, new door handles, new side spoilers, new front spoiler, new rear plastic molding below the rear bumper...all new body panel clips and screw...even new side marker screws...yeah the ones painted red lol - Mazda loves my wallet!

 

 

 

Nice!!!!!!!! I hope to be semi close behind you!!

 

is that the single stage or 3 stage Vintage Red?

 

Vintage Red - base coat...they applied three clear coats and one of the clear coats will be cut down and buffed.

 

You're not alone.

OP, the car looks great- I can't wait to see it back together.

 

It's getting there - slowly being assembled...should be interesting how it turns out after they cut down one of the three clear coats.

 

Putting these on the car - hopefully it looks nice.

 

Paint looks great. Nothing like new paint!

 

Wheels are going to look sick on that bright new red.
Looking forward to pics!

 

Incredible man!! I still plan on dec/Jan for mine. Any issues with getting any of the new moldings or any parts??

 

Not many things more satisfying than fresh paint . This looks like it's turning into a build thread!

 

Mazda has stop making a few of the screws and seals (side mirror seals) - but over all I was able to order pretty much everything new from Mazda. Give yourself some time because some of the parts are coming from Japan.

 

Thanks for the Intel. Just curious how did you handle the mirror seals?

 

I had a couple of extras from side mirrors I purchased from this site - granted they were not new from Mazda.

 

Cut and buff time!

 

 

Wheels on...will upload better/detailed pictures after the body shop touches up a few spots.

 

Kids...she's almost done.
