The chassis was painted Duplicolor Grey Hot Rod Primer,the suspension parts and exhaust were painted in various Tamiya and testors paint.Miata's in 99' were offered in a color called Evolution Orange,so I found a color pretty close,Nissan Orange mist.

Thanks for the comments everyone! :),Miatatom,I rechecked my Road and Track from 2000 and in the article the author called it evolution Orange,guess he could have been wrong.

Update:Clear coats went on today,camera doesn't quite capture the shine like I hoped.

Actually, it is called Evolution Orange. That's the first time I've ever seen it called Gold.

After some delay's,i'm back with some updates:the completed dash,painted dark tan and flat black,then given a couple coats of semi gloss clear.In pictures I've seen on the net the steering wheel had a emblem/decal in the center,but the kit had none,so i found a decal similar and cut it to fit,think it looks ok.

Next up some pictures of the completed interior,the tub was painted sand beige,then given a couple coats of dullcoat to kill the gloss,the door panels were again painted dark tan with flat black and given a couple coats of semi gloss clear.

Finally,most of the black trim painted on the body,i used flat black paint again with a couple light coats of semi gloss clear,the front is taped up as I'm trying to mask the area where the headlight buckets need to be paint chrome.Any comments or questions feel free to ask!

Thanks guy's for the compliment's! :),a few updates for today:put on most of the decals on the body,it's hard to see them as they are pretty small,i,used BMF for backing on the front and rear marker lights as well as the third brake light,instead of the decals,then painted them with Tamiya clear orange and clear red then covered them with a dab of future floor polish,thought it looked more realistic.
