I need some Canadian loving (PAINT WORK)
**UPDATED**
I have a 2006 WWP Mazdaspeed kit with complete 5% tint and black OEM rims, and black eyelids...but I always wanted to paint the top half of the car black.
NEW CHANGE, I will no longer do this look for 2 reasons:
1st: Money restraints if I wanted it done right and properly clearcoated etc I would have needed like 3500
2nd: I dont have 3500 and if I did I certainly wouldnt spend it on 2 tone paint jobs.
HERE *WAS* THE LOOK I WANTED:
Here is where I stand (CRAPPY CAMERA), minus my eyelids:
What I'm doing now is
#1) trunk debadge, completed with a new coat of black paint (debating keeping spoiler OEM WHITE? or PAINT IT BLACK, OR REMOVE IT) (OPINIONS?)
#2) Roof paint, inside of roof lining, I avoided doing the pillars and the remainder of roof because of insufficient funds and the increased complexity. + many think this will look better the revised way
#3) The hood will see a complete coat of black
#4) the Bumper will also see black, inside the headlights and down just to the reinforcement bar cover.
I will be completing this project around the 14th of January at Phoenix Custom Autobody. http://www.phoenixcustom.ca/
Pictures will follow!

Joe from ClassicAuto would be your man. He is very well known on the rx7club forum (username: classicauto) and did my car as well. He shares the same passion for the rotary as any of us. About an hour and a half from the Yorkdale, probably closer to you based off your location.

haha too late for that.. the stuff I have done to my car and the lack of OEM parts, I don't think I would be able to sell it anytime soon + hell I don't want to! I looked into vinyl its cool.. i got an estimate to cover the car in complete black matte for like 2500. Unfortunately don't have that kind of flow.

Also! thanks for all the shop suggestions, I went to a variety of different shops met with painters and got a good feel on who was the best fit for me. We really need a thread listing reputable shops in the area and each persons experience though...

The deciding factor for me was both a competitive price and the confidence in a proven company and painter doing custom work. They have also seen and worked on many rx8's so familarity was a great bonus as well.

**UPDATE** Basically my car is only seasonal with it being lowered, on summer tires and equiped with a mazdaspeed kit so I decided for transportation reasons that I will be waiting until late March and my car will be painted and ready to drive right as I re-insure it for spring on the long weekend.
Now I'm just sitting around waiting for March to come... hmm
