Ah yes pic number 2 highlights the factory orangepeel on the black wonderfully. I love how it seems they painted the hood and top with such wonderful precision and the rest is tropicana...

No....no cops.


What IS going on with the orangepeel paint there???? I was dreading someone would notice that...even though it gives the pic a neato Rembrandt touch. The doors do have a crazy texture in them.....There's a bit in the hood but none I can see on the trunk. Is there a way to clean that up??? does it just have to settle???? From what I was told, the car is just a few months off the line....does paint settle? Zaino gives it a glossy sheen, but if you look into it (like a close up photo), the texture is still visible.

That picture is of the rear 1/4 panel...see gas can opening, and partial tire...

anyone else have similar condition??

Greg

I said all that above because I have the same black rx8. I have noticed no settling. I have just come to get used to the orangepeel on a 30k car. I am disappointed though.

Maybe it's more a Monet style.....but what can be done....sandpaper? Maybe I can cover it up with some slick graphix of flames. People would say "dude, your car's on fire."

or not.

dont cover it up its beautiful. I love it. It will be our little secret as rx8 owners. I don't think anyone else notices.

OK, but don't go snakin' my photos and saying that it's your car. hahaha.

But hey, don't confuse these with those winter shots posted in the other black, cold, cold thread.......brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ya it wouldn't work anyhow. I don't have the spoiler, wind deflector, or clear side markers.

It looks like you skidded sideways to a stop on one of those photos. Do you have your own personal skidpad out there? Beautiful car and photos!

I wonder what brand of paint Mazda uses? Is it Dupont, BASF, Glasorite, Spieshecker or something else?

English

what do corvettes or ANY other fine autos offer in the way of paint? I bet it's the same jihaad for those guys.
