| Detailed - 1994 Mazda Miata - Brilliant Black
Detailed a friend's new purchase - 1994 Mazda Miata in Brilliant Black. This is a single stage paint meaning it does not have clearcoat. Additionally, the paint appears to be original and as a result, has accumulated several blemishes over the past 20 years. The owner was considering repainting the vehicle but I thought I would help him out with a detail and see if it tides him over for now.
This was purely a paint detail. Didn't have time to address the interior or engine bay.
Received the car friday evening. Doesn't look bad but it was cloudy out   IMG_2439 by K2's World, on Flickr

Front bumper 50/50  IMG_2478 by K2's World, on Flickr
Sun came out which helped a lot demonstrating the difference. Rear trunklid was really bad  IMG_2489 by K2's World, on Flickr

With another car of similar vintage  IMG_2505 by K2's World, on Flickr
Anyways, there are still a lot of dents and paint peeling on the hardtop in a couple of spots (originally red), but IMO, those are character marks. Have to expect it on a 20-year old car. For it's age, I think it looks great again.

Sweet. I thought it might be but I didn't realize he did any mods to it.

Thanks!
I believe he is looking to buy different wheels. So if they interest you perhaps he could sell them to you.
