Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
Certainly has made a difference but to be honest I didn't mind the red. I can't believe that you did it all in the car. Is it just a rattle can job?

NA6 turbo - 140kw atw - not the most powerful but so much fun

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
yep! you can tell there is a variation in the colours so maybe tomorrow or Saturday I will head up to the top of the dash and give it a prep clean and spray the whole dash

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
the complete dash sprayed today and overall it turned out pretty good so I have to say I am pleased with the end result. just a bit of minor work to go and should complete that by tomorrow.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
true ...I tried to dye that handbrake boot black with the dye and it ran off like water
so I guess I will have to get some-thing a bit more suitable for leather

Is this paint going to peel off ?

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
well it shouldn't as it is really a vinyl dye or more like an ink but not an oink!
goes on pretty easy and does a very good job. only problem i'd say it is potent in the smell dept so would get you high pretty quick . face mask use was required.
car is under the verandah tonight and top down airing out
hopefully it won't attract fume sniffers

Wasn't Beavis trying to give an NB dash away recently?
I'm impressed by your in-situ work nevertheless.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
well I suppose your gotta try
and I too think I was probably going through a bad time when I did that red/black paint scheme but this move has certainly toned it back down.
but i'd be even more impressed if some-one would put me out of my misery and buy it.....

I actually quite liked the black & red combo . But then I was never in a position to make a real offer on the car.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
Hi Billy, late to this forum but I really like the fact that you have made this car your own. It looks very unique and seems like you really love the car! Good! The white paint job looks loads better than the "shelby mx5" thing you had going on in the first few pages 

Just commit to it

I hoped that you would have kept the red door inserts - too much black now.

Re: billybunters - from a bmw z4 to a mx5 se
well I can go back to the red door combo anytime as I was in SE sales mode
but at the moment I am still trying to get that Z3 sale
had a couple of joy riders last weekend so waiting to see the final outcome there.
one good thing about a mx5 the battery is roughly about the same size as the Z3. I had a flat battery on the Z3 before the gents arrived - days earlier I had the boot up to clean it out and never closed it properly and you guessed it
anyway a quick change over and all good.
