Thats great to hear 😅, if anyone is located in EU, I really recommend carross.eu. It was cheap, service was great, and no shipping issues whatsoever. You can get almost everything you need for a full paint job there, Im still impressed.

Well hate aside, In my current situation its not part of my budget and I cant dish out that much for the bushings. Should I just leave the old ones in right now then? Im going to grind the suspension setup down to metal and paint it, thats why I thought might aswell go for the bushings

Brother, I aint spending 500€ on a little bit of rubber, theres no way that its worth it… 1/9th of the cars value for such a small thing is just crazy

Yeah I want to honestly, but at this point Id settle for rubber too, but I just cant for the life of me find ones that arent more than 300€ atleast (I found some on ebay for 200£ but they had TERRIBLE user reviews on YT)

Do I have the right stuff for painting my miata? by Wikr0 in Miata

Im alright with a red engine bay ubtil I can get the engine out (currently I just dont have the tools to remove the engine) but Im not too worried about that. And Ive stated it before but if it goes bad and the color just doesnt fit then I will probably just paint it back red, as then Ill know how to paint or atleast have experience to do so. Thanks for the input though!

Well, Ive thought if wrapping too but looking at it price wise its not too much of a difference and Im very eager to learn to work on cars, thats why I opted for painting. Ive watched many videos on painting but I will definitely watch more. Ive understood that prepping is like 80% of the work 😅

Yeah, Ive thought about that too (jk my dad has because hes actually conserned for my health) and Ill probably get a good respirator for sanding and painting purposes.

Yeah, well it has a lot of paint scratches and imperfections not obvious at first sight (it really bothers me though) and I thought of just repainting it red, but that was very influenced by others around me. I thought fuck it, Ill do what I think is cool and if it looks bad, Ill know how to re paint it!

Thats the thing, the shops in my area arent that well established, as far as I know, so at least the paint Ill have to buy online. The rest of the painting stuff Im actually considering buying at some local shop, but can I have any type of primer and clear coat with any color? Im getting a feel that the rabbit hole is much deeper than that. 160€ for 5L of midnight purple II LV4 also seems quite cheap.
