Thanks 3lturbo, It's a new Mazda colour it's called "soul red" It's a 3 layer base,candy,clear, but I've always wanted a gold flake red calais so without going into the process of painting "yes" it's a factory base coat with factory metallic in it but candy ect after that is custom to get a flake/candy flip affect, full credit goes to Andy the bloke who painted it he is a bloody wizard!!

few more pics after the w/end drying love it in the sun once the asteroid and black around window r done its gunna set it off, im bloody hanging to get it home and start throwing all the new stuff on it!!

Mint dougs! Is that a new screen? Who did the rubber? It's the universal one yeah?

Hey Deano, NA not a new screen it only had a new one not long ago, and a local mob here did the screens and removed tint from rear, Yeah is a universal seal I think they look a lot better! I reckon those plastic covers hold water in em and cause rust,

Just f#cking wow! that's fantastic, cant wait to see it with the black engine stuff, is different and awesome!
