VERY SEXY TRUCK... heres what mine looked like a few months ago

Slightly different now

Nice to see there are other Mazdas being lifted!!! I must say that 6" suspension looks 85% better than 3"body and 2" suspension with the 33s

ps.. do you have the blue interior too???

Hahaha, I love it. Mine has gray/black decals, and a gray interior.

- How did you get the decals off?
- What did you use for the body paint?

I am thinking about using the duplicolor bedliner spraypaint on the fenders & body, but only up to the first bodyline at the bottom of the doors.

I just did the black today

I used duplicolor spray on bedliner!!!

it seems to look pretty good, but feels soft.. Im not sure how good it will hold up. I put 5 cans on today and am gonna buy 2 more to build it up a bit, then more for bumpers and trailer hitch, grill, etc

it flashes very fast, like 5 minutes... I dont know how long before it fully cures though..

I was just going to do the lower bodyline, but i did a pretty crappy job on the bodywork fixing the rust so I decided to do it up to there.. I like it Now i am going to spray the flares, and glue them back on (broke all tabs when taking them off)

Decals had to be removed because the pressure washer was chipping them off... I got them off using a propane heater and a credit card, then cleaning up the glue with gas (i know its dangerous, but it works)

watch out though, the paint does fade a bit, and is really hard to blend, you will still be able to read the SE after you remove the decals if you do.

Body paint on my truck is Tremclad Automotive high gloss white (from a rattlecan) the black paint up by the window is just auto trim paint (rattlecan). it was all done in my driveway

total cost to me for everything was about $300 from bondo to paint... A pretty decent deal for a 13 year old truck
