It says powder coating in thread title!
WITH all the prep work done by me before hand. Satin finish is a big possibility, however, I think black would look great too.

That engine bay looks awesome. Would you use the purple too? Reminds me of some parts that FM had for a while (flywheel, cam gears, etc.), so that would be fitting in a Miata bay. Might not work with your red exterior though.

Dude, those prices are crazy.
You can buy a Powdercoating gun for <$200 and get an oven for free on Craigslist. Powder is cheap and plentiful. I set up my own in my garage and have been powdercoating the $#!* out of stuff. It easier to use than spraypaint IMO.

I'm really considering sending stuff out to get done because nothing local is going to be of use to me.
Post some pics of the stuff you've done.

Nice pics
Nice color...actually I like that blue...what color is that exactly?? Sorry if you've mentioned this before, but what color is your car...just to get an idea of the overall color scheme. But definitely a nice color...it really makes the engine bay stand out.
