Default Painted my trunk lid.

For those that know me, you know my trunk lid was in rough shape. For those that dont know me, I have pictures! Well it had some scratches, and I washed it, and I thought it would be a good idea to try to get some of the paint off that was flaking. Well... not so much.



We sanded it down, and primed it and it started to rain so we called it a day.


Went at it again 2 days later. Here is the final product.

I know there is still a few dents in it, neither of us had any body work tools, or experience. I just wanted it to be one color, so I wasnt worried about the dents.

Also thats is a random spray paint that was purchased at advanced autoparts. They dont list 90 Miatas so we couldnt find the exact color. We just choose one of the several silvers that we thought was the closet match, and did a damn good job IMO.
