I honestly had no idea what I was getting into. After an autoshow this spring I found this 2017 with 4900 miles for sale not far away. I had the money... why not? I’ve never had a car like this before. The mountains are right there......

Know what? L et’s get it repainted too... Autoflex Dip to be safe.

And that when she came alive. This color absolutely sings in the sun. Even after hammering the shit out of a dirt road the glow radiates out from a thick layer of dust.

I freaking LOVE this car on a twisty road and there are so many of those right outside of town. 1 or 2 hours goes a long way especially when you get a feel for which way the traffic flows at different times of the day.

The body sway, the lightness of it -I freaking want to lose weight to get even more out of her.  Not a log of acceleration but that’s FINE.  Everything Jalop has been saying for years....  Such a joy!

Nice Evolution Orange. Too bad Mazda only used it for one year.

I’m surprised Mazda didn't have this color as a j option from the factory. It's perfect!

Right?  The brighter the sun, the better it looks

How does the autoflex look in door jambs and such?

I’ll get you a few pics later. I did not have the interior of the doors painted. And the finish is not by any means perfect. However, I don’t give people much opportunity to look at it. Yesterday was nuts and I have a grea t sunburn to prove it. Drifting on dirt roads is a blast.

Can’t get the damn thing to rotate. Original white paint inside...

I can’t see the white from the outside at all

My concern, based on Plastidip experience, would be that the light overspray in the little gaps would be impossible to remove. Looks really good though!

There is a solution that you put on a rag like mineral spirits that dissolves it and rubs away
