    Great result mate, looks very nice! Well done Troy for the top job and no doubt patience. How many coats ended up going on, paint & clear?

    If you paint your roof black and the rear bumper insert the same grey as the front grille it'll be the almost identical twin to mmmmps's car

    The colour is easy to source. It's a standard Mazda colour.

    Looking to Re-paint my rims on Gen 1 too. Tried to find Magnum Grey as standard Mazda colour, but seems to be a Ford colour???? What's that about?
    I'd like a colour similar to thelegend64, nice!

    Looks great...
    I have a Black MPS GenII, and i am looking at doing the same. I have limited help and services in Melbourne, but I think a darker gray (1 shaded tougher than gun metal gray) should do
