Need Color Code
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!

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.

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).
