[MX-5 Miata] Retro rear panel from start to finish

I've had this panel for quite awhile and I've finally finished it and installed it. It is a Sickspeed panel, not an authentic Garage Vary panel. I hit a major road block when the paint store said they could not match my paint, and my only hope was to respray my entire car another color. Good thing I didn't fucking listen to that guy! I was able to match my car's non-factory paint (from a previous owner) fairly well, using a scan of the white color and then adding metallic flake into the first layer of clear coat. So with that out of the way everything else went fairly swimmingly. I did make mistakes in the paint, but they were mostly rookie mistakes, easily corrected mistakes, or ones that I can live with. The Miata it is on is still in hibernation for a few more weeks, at that point I'll be able to get some outdoor/better pictures of everything. These are the methods I used and they worked for me, if you have a similar panel and want to share your methods or have anything to say about my installation please share in the comments section. Subscribe for Miata content, lots of new projects to get around to with spring in the air! Have a great day and drive safe!
