**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!

 

Alright can someone chime in, I need a shop. Not Maaco. GTA apparently has none or apparently no rx-8s on rx8 club have ever been in an accident?

 

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.

Oh yah, forgot his number 905-779-0318

i actually tried that number and it was an internet connection haha is there an email? website? etc he can be reached at?

 

quick search try this http://www.simcoechamber.on.ca/index...sting&cid=1026
Seems you had the fax number

 

Hmm, thats strange. That's the number I had on my phone from when I painted my car.

Don't paint it, do a vinyl wrap instead. It will save you $$$ when its time to sell the car.

 

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...

 

Alright, car is ready and will be entering the shop this thursday! pretty excited for a finished product. Will post pictures upon completion.

 

Who did you end up going with?

Phoenix Custom Autobody. http://www.phoenixcustom.ca/

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.

 

Don't forget the pics when its done.

**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
