MAZDA MIATA MX-5

The Metallic Rose Transformation

scope of work

FULL VINYL WRAP — INOZETEK METALLIC ROSE (MSG018)

The entire exterior was wrapped in Inozetek MSG018 Metallic Rose, a color-shifting finish that pulls warm pink in direct sun and deep mauve-purple in shadow. Every panel was wrapped edge-to-edge with tight seams and clean tucks, from the sculpted hood to the curved rear haunches. The result reads factory-smooth with none of the original paint peeking through.

MAGENTA CALIPER PAINT

The brake calipers were refinished in a bold magenta that punches against the gunmetal factory wheels. Cleaned, masked, and coated for an even, durable finish, they add a hit of contrast that peeks through the spokes. It's the kind of detail that ties the whole build together.

FEYNLAB CERAMIC & PPF COATING

The finished wrap was sealed with Feynlab Ceramic & PPF Coating, a protective layer engineered specifically for vinyl and film surfaces. It locks in the metallic depth, adds gloss, and makes the surface hydrophobic and far easier to keep clean. This is what keeps the Metallic Rose looking show-ready long after it leaves the shop.

Project Summary

The owner of this 2025 Mazda Miata MX-5 came to Lux Auto Studio with one goal: never blend in. A roadster is already a head-turner, but they wanted a full transformation that made the car unmistakably theirs. We landed on Inozetek's Metallic Rose — a shade that shifts from soft pink to deep mauve as the light moves — and built the rest of the details around it. The brief was simple: show-ready, top down, impossible to miss.

The Build

We started with a full exterior wrap in Inozetek MSG018 Metallic Rose, wrapping every panel edge-to-edge for a seamless, paint-like finish that shifts color with the light. The brake calipers were pulled into the story with a bold magenta refinish that peeks through the gunmetal wheels and echoes the pink up top. Once the color work was complete, we sealed the entire vehicle with Feynlab Ceramic & PPF Coating to lock in gloss, add hydrophobic protection, and keep the metallic finish looking fresh. Every seam, tuck, and edge was dialed in for a factory-tight result. Shot top-down under open sky, the little roadster reads pure candy — warm pink in the sun, deep mauve in the shade. A complete transformation that does exactly what the owner asked: never blend in.
