Looks great! Wondering: Is there a spray paint matching the P5 Blue available from the dealer? Or would classic touch up brush work?

Also: Front Emblem painted black. Also looks great. Very noticeable change in car. Upon removal of front emblem and painting...what is the re-apply? What kind of double sided tape would be strong enough to hold it on...on possibly contact cement....any ideas????????

Not sure if there are spray paint available from the dealers but the last time Ray and I spoke back in May, he mentioned the dealer only carried touch up bottles.... If you're going to use a brush, use the finest brush you can get to minimize the line effect it creates on certain surfaces, especially on chromed or polished surfaces such as the Mazda emblem. They key would be to apply several coats so the bottom layer acts as a primer, thus avoiding any stroke lines.... You can use industrial double-sided tape (3M) or just glue it if preferred...

Try is first with coloured electrical tape first. See if you like it.
Paint will be hard pressed to stay on the chrome unless you give it a light sanding. Say 320 grit maybe. They a couple of coats to cover the sanding marks. Plastic primer really helps here.
