Does anyone know the color code for this blue 82 RX7? It's the bright saturated blue metalic in the picture. I sold the car befor getting the code and now I've decided to put the same color on my 85. I talked to the Mazda dealership and they had the names of several blues, but no photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I think thats tender blue. Wasa that the car you sold? If it is, why? That 7 is beautiful.

 

Rotorhead.ca used to have a paint code list, with samples. I assume they still, if the site is still active. Been a while since I looked.
There were only 2 or 3 light metallic blues used on the 1st gens. Misty blue, and tender blue are 2 I know of.

 

Thanks Twinkletoes!
I had three, and two had to go! Transfered the best parts from the 82 & other 85 over to my current 85 then sold them. I really like the 82's color though.

Thanks Rogue! I'll pop on over and see what they've got.

found it for you Rogue

 

Thanks! Having to suffer with dialYUCK internet sucks.......

 

Your welcome. Just make sure and check so it doesn't end up being different.

 

There ya go

 

Checked both links (thanks all!) and it looks like Stardust Blue (U2)!

Yay!

Will definately check it first, but it looks right.

 

Neither site lists Y5 (Solar Bronze Metallic) which was the factory color/code on my buddies 79 SA...... Found the color name on the original MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin).

 

yeah 81-83 is U2 blue, tender blue V3, is an 84-85 color
