Stonechip finish

[anonymous-user]

Stopped with a friend on the way back from the Festival Of Speed yesterday to look at a 96/N Mx5 someone had sat on their driveway with a for sale sign on it. Looked overpriced to what others I have seen on the web. Aforementioned friend was interested in it as runnaround. Miles were quite low, interior good condition.

Question though. The bodywork between the front and rear wheels had stonechip finish applied from the swage line down, is this normal? Or is it as I suspect someone was trying to hide rusty sills then just carried on with the stonechip higher?.

No, that's completely normal.

Mine goes all the way up to the crease.

Thats about how my stonechip/black line looks to

Textured paint goes up to the crease line on every (not repainted) Mk1 i've seen AFAICR.... mine does certainly.

Oh - OK then, and -

it appears I am only missing the Black line along the sills !
I can live with that !

Some had body-coloured sills too...

[MX-5 Lazza]

Yeah but some, possibly special editions, had body coloured sills as standard.

Mine's exactly like that

Goes upto the crease and is black at the bottom.
