Today I learned a lot about auto paint as went to a autobody paint supplier and also to a recommended professional auto painter..

The painter saw right away the effect that the sun has on the paint, this car spent 8 years basking on the SoCal weather and was very easy to notice which side of the car had the sun shinning longer during the days (the car was a 2004 Mazdaspeed (Miata) with 46k miles that I got as a gift from a family member) with a pearl red color that was available only during '04 and '05 for their Mazdaspeed limited production run..

To make a long story short, it will cost a lot of money to (properly) paint that car back to it's original glory
