just buff it with the scotch bright where the runs are to smooth them out and then give the whole thing a once over. and do 2-3 light coats this time to make sure it has a solid coat and keep the paint even so it doesn't run. The more time you spend on it the better it will come out.
What have you done to your P5 today?

I realized today that she can still put a smile on my face 
Tomorrow she goes to the shop for some fab work and then hopefully back to me sometime next week. I'm going to be out-of-town next weekend so I guess I'm going to have to wait a while to install the CS radiator and Medieval dead pedal I'm picking up tomorrow. I've also learned some new things about the SS AFC that I want to try out to see if it fixes any of my driveability issues. After tomorrow all that's left to be installed is the CS radiator, dead pedal, DG front lip (I've had this for a while now) and some twiggy cams and an adjustable intake cam gear. After all this I should be good for a while or at least until I start my engine build. I'm seriously going to need to start tuning this thing!

Jeg man, do you realise whats all involed in doing the swap? Theirs a s*** load more to it then you think. installing the trans and mtx axels are the easy part.
if you have any questions about the swap, let me know.

you did the swap?
at first, i had no speedometer or reverse lights.. but i did some custom wiring and everything works perfectly.
money wise, it's cheaper to sell it and get something else but for me it was definitely worth it!

dude I keep telling you its easier, cheaper, faster to just get a built auto then to convert over. A buitl trans that will hold 275whp will be cheaper then a swap more then likely.
Your biggest issue will be the wiring differences between the dash harnesses of the atx and mtx.

So as I had the car jacked up today, I think I may have realized why I couldn't get my Mazdaspeed springs on...the fronts look like they are supposed to be the wider of the springs and the rears the more narrow...is this correct, cause it would explain why the smaller pair would not fit on the front...
