I Love these hues - bluey greeny grayish. No solid colours like yellow IMO!

I think I'd go bright for this car. I'd go with either Innocent Blue Mica from the FD's or the bright red from the Turbo II's(For the life of me I can't remember the name of it). Either of which I would paint the trim/rub strips glossy black(even on the Mariah bumper). I think it would look fantastic.

was thinking about this same topic with my vert...

If you're in to blues - check out the Starion / Conquest blue circa 1988ish... nice and bright metalflake...

you mean to say you don't like the brown OEM color?

i personally prefer the black. brilliant black would look great. although the stock color would give you a clean vintage look..

Stormy Blue Mica.



Winning Blue.



My Rx8 is a Winning Blue Rx8, and its an absolutely beautiful color if you want the car to pop out at you, and want blue. I personally prefer the look of the Stormy Blue Mica, but I prefer the darker colors anyway.
