Just bought pic related. As you can see, some of the panels on the front are gray while the rest of the car is the original yellow. Looks pretty shit. What sort of cool interesting stuff could I do to make it look good besides trying to color match the gray panels with yellow or painting the whole car.

Leave it be. So everyone knows what a retard you are buying a wrecked car.
>>
Unless you're good a colormatch is going to look like shit. Do the while car in yellow plastidip or something.

If you're buying a decrepit sports car and are immediately trying to find stuff to make it look good then you are not gonna make it.

cosmetics last

Whatever man.

kinda want one of these. should i get this or a miata?
>>
>>16104997
Yea man, thats the stuff. I really want to bring it back to classic status. It was imported back in the 1980s by a family member so putting all the cool japan only stuff on and reverting it back to original form would be the tits.
>>
>>16105072
These are more maintenance heavy then miatas obviously, but both are pretty similar. You should defiantly read up on rotary engines before you even start looking at one.

Don't try and color match yellow ever. It fades quickly, so it will be a slightly different shade even when it's like 6 months old. Just respray the whole car.

I'll put in votes for Mazda Competition Yellow Mica or Safety Cone Orange Satin Plastidip.

What is a wrap ? You mean something 10 times less expensive than paint, that cannot be fucked up and that is superior in every way ?
>>
>>16106020
I was really looking into plastidip. Seems like a pretty good idea as im pretty indecisive about colors and would love to be able to change every year or 2.
