After 13 years of neglect and a full restoration journey, it’s finally time to start painting my Mazda Miata. In this episode of Project Kaizen, we take on the challenge of a DIY budget-friendly paint job using a $150 Porsche color, all done in our garage. From sanding and prepping to laying down the base coat and clear coat, this is the moment we’ve been working towards.

Will it turn out amazing or be a complete disaster?
Can a garage paint job actually look good on a Miata?
What does a budget paint job really take?

Join us as we tackle this crucial step in the Miata build and let us know in the comments what you think of the final result.
