I purchased a fiberglass hardtop for my Miata on this day and I discovered that all hardtops between 1990 and 2005 are interchangeable. Miata.net provided the assurance of that. The next thing I need to do is get the hardtop painted. I was looking at painting the hardtop dark gray – metallic gunmetal-like.

Bought a Fiberglass Hardtop
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Miata Painted
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Folks, I finally came about to getting my Miata painted. I had my Miata painted at Maaco using their Supreme paint plan/option and it was about $1,000 for the whole job. No body work was needed.
I had it painted burnt copper. Pictures below:
For those who may wonder why the hood is still black and not painted… The hood is carbon fiber and made by Jim Simpson – I am going to have it wet sanded and clearcoated to complete the job.
Lip, Grille, Frog Arms, and New Fenders…

I went ahead and got a few things that have been nagging me for a while now. I wanted to finally get to the step of getting my car painted. I had to do a few things first to reach this point. I had to go ahead and get the polyurethane lip, a high flow grille, frog arms, and new front fenders.
I figured that all of these things would come in a series of installs and get myself positioned to get the car painted without needing body work because the fenders were the only damaged parts of the body.
First, I had the lip put on and the grille put on. Have a gander:
Secondly, the frog arms and the new fenders. Have a gander:
