i don't like it. won't match at all in the engine bay. and besides, if it's originally charcoal, the interior is probably red, which would not go with a blue exterior at all. i do not like the color, as it looks kind of cheap. in my opinion that is. but if you like it, it's your car then do what you want.

It is too hard to tell form the can of paint.

Take a look in the gallery and see what you like from there...

you have to scroll down the page when you see the can of paint. there is a 2nd gen that is painted. and my original interior was tan but i changed the interior to all black.

it would look better with the black interior. i just personally think the paint doesnt suit the FC. perhaps it would look better on the FB. i am biased because i don't like blue vehicles unless they are darker blue.

this blue is almost identicle to the new mazda blue that they use and the mazda6 protege and the rx8. i guess i could put a few coats of clear on instead of just one coat to make the metalic look sharper in the light and to make the blue look deeper. im just getting an opinion from you guys. if this color doesnt look good well then give me some colors that do look good. give me more opinions!
