I can second that ! I just had my hardtop repainted there, they did a great job

Worth calling in there at the moment to check out the blue NA from Alaska that they have just done a right hand drive conversion on !!

Hi toymx5,

Can you tell me how much it cost to get the hard top painted at MX-5 factory? I currently have a quote for around $800 from my regular body shop. I know it will be a top class job from them but I don't want to spend $800 on an original NA black textured hard top.

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

All up including a new seal for the rear window it was $750.00. The actual piant job was $660.00 I think, that includes GST.

The good thing is they do MX5's every day of the week so they know their stuff. I'm sure you'd be very happy with their work.

Regards,

Peter

Good to hear you please with the result solo22, I've got my car going in to the factory for exactly the same operation on Monday. I'm going to get the front end fixed up a bit while its there - really looking forward to seeing it all fixed up.

slightly ot..but if you have an nb the coil is a two part affair and the one nearest the enine gets hot and degrades...i had this occur and in the process donated the 2nd half to mx5mania in sydney.....maybe they can help with the rare 2nd hand part....and i can say that the service may be a mx5 specialist thing because i reckon mx5 mania are the same sort of friendly and helpful people

enjoy
