Innocent Blue mica or Spirit R color?

Hey guys,
I'm going to be painting my car really soon, and I was wondering if i should paint it innocent blue mica or titanium grey metallic like the spirit R. After seeing the spirit R in person it just inspired me to paint it that color. I know its my preference and choice, but i just wanted to hear your opinions out and what the pros and cons are.

I think you should paint it blue mica. That color is just beautiful, and a shade of blue that you hardly see on the road.

This is no good. I have had plans to paint my FD 25G (Spirt R color) for some time now. The car is most likely going in for paint next week and all of the sudden everyone is like "yea spirit R!" haha. Dosn't really affect me, I just didn't think so many people liked the color. Maybe s2000 suzuka blue...wait Crashunit beat me to it. Laff

Damn I was considering the grey also. Too many greys in SoCal. I'll have to rule that color out.....maybe.

Boost's car totally kicks ass... Wargasm had a video of it somewhere on his ftp site... I threw it on my web server here: http://smackfu.net/movies/dave_ibm_rx7.avi (btw.. my connection sucks ass, 128K out and the file is about 18MB... you may want to PM Wargasm about his ftp site or just do a search)

Even though Dave's car kicks ass.. I like the Grey better personally...

Both are great colors. I would paint my car Special Edidtion Titanium Grey (Spirit R color), but my engine bay would still be red.

I think both colors are beautiful, and for me it would come down to how both colors look with my interior. Both colors would look awesome with a black interior, but the blue would go better with the tan interior(IMO). Either way, you can't go wrong with these new colors!

Good luck, and post pics when you are done!

What color is your car now? Might make a difference unless you want to pay to have the engine pulled like JimLab... and BTW, i think jims vette blue is even better than IBM.
