My color combination in particular or in general - black top + stock color?

The white and black makes for such a strong contrast, yet it's still classy. I think it'd also work for darker colours. I thought about doing it with mine, but I think the bright red and black would be too drastic.

Plus that's a Lamborghini, they're allowed to be ostentatious. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Yeah, it can kinda work(there is a guy here with a orange/black one), but the car is doesn't have the lines/panels for a complete nice cut. -------------------- |

Hey, thanks.
I might have an update for you guys, since I haven't done much to the car lately. I sold my 12" subwoofer box, but an 18" is on it's way. Then I'll start on the wall and rollcage. -------------------- |

Amazing, how did you paint the trim pieces on the inside I'm about to do mine and was wondering what kind of paint do I need to use and do I sand or not because of the chance of it not being even anymore since they're already so thin pieces?

I wet-sanded mine in warm Dawn water with either 600 or 800, can't remember exactly but probably was 800. Used primer for plastics, then proceeded with colour and clear coat of my choosing. Afterwards once dried you can wet-sand with 1,500 and 2,000 then finish with rubbing and polishing compound. Then apply a small coat of wax to protect from UV rays and install. Wasn't that hard and really changes the look of the interior. The wet-sanding with Dawn or another de-greaser is really important, have to remove the years of protectants so the primer will stick. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Oh okay thank you so much Box, I almost ****ed my **** up XD. Thanks for the advice any tips on color to do my car it's a black gt, I plan on lighting everything up to match on the outside, underglow and all that turning it into a "show car/play toy," I'm just stuck on picking a color can't do red or blue because of cops and I thought about green. I just don't know, kinda lookin' for other people's opinions atm. -------------------- "As a professor of science, I assure you we did, in fact, evolve from filthy monkey-men." -Prof. Farnsworth

I painted mine with metallic black, it's subtle and classy. There are some pictures in my project thread.

I guess we should probably talk about this somewhere else instead of stealing the end of this thread XD -------------------- "As a professor of science, I assure you we did, in fact, evolve from filthy monkey-men." -Prof. Farnsworth

I bought the car as is. And I believe it is factory paint. -------------------- |

I didn't know that was an option in factory, unless it's previous owner shenanigans. -------------------- "As a professor of science, I assure you we did, in fact, evolve from filthy monkey-men." -Prof. Farnsworth
