By the way, it has been pointed out to me that the colors don't gloss. That's because the car is currently primered, and it's hard to add reflections that dont exist in PS!

p.s. the mountain in the background looks fun for driving. gotta love the twisties.
also JJ your aim sucks but u already knew that
and another thing is, you should concentrate on getting it to not stall at stoplights before you paint it IMO.

I think you should go with a tangerine orange color! Maybe even mix in a little bit of gold! Then paste decals etc in mirrorvinyl on the side! Bling bling!
This actually looks awesome! But try not to make it too ricy, and stick too decals you can back by actually having the products in the car.

What color was it originally? I'd match the engine bay personally.
If you're doing a great paint job then black ALL THE WAY - nothing looks better than a perfect black car. But if it's only a mid-level job then I like the charcoal or silver.
Between your two I'd take the gay blue.
Beats out the sick orange. LOL

Dudes, EVERYONE paints their RX 7 black, grey, white, yellow, silver, or red. Those are out of the question for sure.
I already know someone with a dark forest green RX 7.
THe original color was T5 Havanna Brown *shudder*
The day a decal other than the ONE I'm putting on goes on my car, is the day the guy that stole it from me puts a decal on my car

Also, the actual blue I'm looking for isn't so pastel. And things always look a bit different when glossy
I have a pic with the blue, lemme try to find it.

The blue you see on the edges is the blue I'm actually aiming for. Sorry, best pic I have (and the inside areas of my car are still glossy
)

WHY do people keep bringing up that Audi color? It just makes my decision harder, lol.
IanS also pointed out a NICE blue that they put on Hyundai Santa Fe's.
