so i know its been asked before, but what is the best color for an fb my car is going for a respray an dI figured why not get the opinions of the people that really know what I'm talking about

 

Tough choice man, tough choice...

But I went with Silver/White, I think it shows off the detail of the car better.

It was a close one between that and Black though.

 

I like blue myself

 

how hard is it to prep a car for a color change, does the engine need to be removed to paint the bay, what about the door sills, sorry, but when it come to paint I am quite confused

 

Maybe not the engine itself, but EVERTHING else.

 

White

 

Where's yellow in that poll?

 

i'm not big on yellow,it looks good on some cars, but i prefer the colors I have listed

 

lol longduck

 

How about metallic brown?

(Looks great with the stainless trim.)

 

No car has ever looked bad in black.

 

YEAH, I'VE GOT MINE PRIMER GRAY RIGHT NOW. I'M TORE BETWEEN GMC GHOST WHITE AND FERRARI RED RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!!! I'M LEANING TOWARDS RED RIGHT NOW B/C I'VE NOT SEEN ANOTHER IN MY TOWN, PLENTY OF WHITE ONE THOUGH.....

HAD ONE BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT I PAINTED GMC GHOST WHITE. IT LOOKED GRAYISH UNTIL THE LIGHT HIT IT. LOOKED AWESOME!

 

Black, white, and silver are not colors.

 

Where is charcoal grey (Tornado Silver) in the poll?
Or brown/tan?

 

Best color is the original color. I have 4 FBs in Misty Blue, Red, Silver, Silver and a red REPU. Each will get repainted as original. Once you get it nicely painted and polished you will love the color.

i really like the red but iv been pulled over 3 times in 6 months

 

I'm tired of grey, black, white.

I say go with Blue, it is not very common with Rx-7's. But, I would only do blue if the interior is a blue or grey one. Don't paint blue if you have a maron interior, that would be weird looking.

But, definitely don't go with black, dust always shows up super quick and there are too many Rx-7's with black. I would recommend heavy metalic blue, dust seems to take a while to show up with it.

 

I like Sunbeam silver (not white) for a stock color and it does not show dirt too much. If you are going to all the extra work of changing colors you may as well not limit your choice to just the stock ones. [img of purple car supressed] You could also change the shade slightly or make it metallic.

 

it's a faded red 85 s, grey interior, red is on there for ease of use mostly, i like blue and black, but any color but red will require a full respray, red will takeonly the outside if I use the mazda paint, am I right on this, please correct me if I'm wrong

 

I'll go with Henry Ford's color choice - Black.

 

"you can have it in any color you want, as long as its black", or the cheap *** ripoff in f&f "you can have any beer you want as long as its a corona" man are they searching for lines these days

 

I don't think black is good for the 7. Seems to me it's just an abdication of choice. And a black car must always be polished and clean and free of blemishes.

white

 

None of the above. It's gotta be light beige, the best color of them all. Makes good use of all those classic 7 details.

 

Just polish it down to bare metal, fix all the welding and seam blemishes, and wax the **** out of it!

Just kidding. Seriously, what's it matter what we think? It's your car, what color do you like the best? We've all got different colors on our cars. Some of us love them as they are, while others (like you and myself) are obviously torn between a stock repaint, and a new color. Either way, it's you who has to live with your final decision...

So pick BLUE!
