Go see Dick Richey at The MX-5 Factory in Ringwood, they are the experts in repainting/repairing MX-5's and are a sponsor of the MX-5 club. I've had work done there on both MX-5's I've owned and I highly recommend them.

Another recommendation for Dick at the MX5 factory. Dick has performed various repairs for me, from rust repair to a new nose and full external re-spray. Cannot fault his work.

painting does not come cheap. I think MX5 are a little more prone to stone damage on account of their low profile. You get em painted and they get damaged again. No probs with Oven Baked Enamel Services ( DR)
