ocean blue vs. tender blue
would the owner(s) of an ocean blue and tender blue 7 be willing to post a pic of their car? i'm wondering what the differences are in the color shades.

I painted my RX-3 tender blue using my 85 GSLs color code.

i have a tender blue 85 GSL for daily driver. whenever i get it repainted itll go to the blue that was on some SAs
|
Where on the car is the color code listed? Im not sure what blue I have and when it comes time to repait I want the same color.
|
the color code is located on the VIN plate on the passenger side of the firewall. it will be a either a letter and a number or two letters. here's an example off of my 80 Leather Sport:

found these pics on the bay area rx7 club site
|
perfect!! i really like the ocean blue.
|
also, any pics of a stardust blue? i'm trying to figureout what it is i like the best as well as a reference between the blue shades, as a few are very close in color.
|
as a note, i found while flipping through some of the rx-7 brochures i have, i noticed that ocean blue was only available in 85...interesting.
|
As far as I know, its the other way around. the 84-85 are tender blue. ocean blue are the earlier 81-82's.
|
Tender Blue, 12 hours old.

I never seen an ocean blue (84-85). Its always been tender blue. Thats in the past 20 years and in Socal.
|
anything's possible. i've never personally seen an ocean blue 7 here in ohio. or ever for that matter. i've only seen them in pictures. i think its a pretty rare color....
|
anyone know the color code for ocean blue??

not sure what color this is? |
it looks like Misty Blue. and a very beautiful car it is! is it yours?? if so, whats the color code indicate on the VIN plate on the right side of the firewall?
|
The color code for Misty Blue is U6.
|
U6=Misty Blue - confirmed. that was my '83. :)
and by the way, whoever owns that SE that Branca posted, that's one hella beautiful car! |
U6, gotcha!! good info to know. it seems that ocean blue is pretty rare. someone has to know the color code...
|
Thanks! Yes it is mine. It is one of the 4 that i own and it only has 73k on it. it is a 1983. The paint code is U6
|
hades12 or anyone else who might know.

|

old pix and dirty
|
excellent looking car, wacky!!!! do you still have the car?
|
Gave it to my son who got his license a few months ago but in stock condition. He learned how to drive on a 5-speed. :icon_tup:
|
I used 1/2 gallon to paint the car and still have a Small bit left. This was two coats on the car.
Would have been just barily enough if I had shot the under hood and door jambs. |
do you have any updated pics of the car??
|
I keep forgeting to take them, Not much has happened though, Just Worked on the sagged clear a little is all.
|
well, when you have time to take pics, would you mind posting them? i bought a tender blue 85 S last saturday and i'm really liking the color and was wanting to see more FB's in this color. i've never really liked the color until i owned an FB wih the color. its really grown on me!
|

color of choice for the discriminating fb owner :bigthumb:

|
that paint code sheet has been very helpful. my only concern was the listing of L6 which is listed as "royal blue". the brochure for the 85 RX-7 i have states the color as "ocean blue metallic". i wonder if in canada the color was listed as royal blue....

is the pic of the SE there the same 7 as the 7 in the pics with the aftermarket wheels?
|
Hades, why are you selling the car??? looks great with that new paint!!
|
Bought it to sale. I have a 79 and my wife has an 83 LE so one more on insurance is not really something I want to do.
I am tempted to make it a Demo car for my Audio shop. |
well it looks great with the new paint on it. was it originally tender blue? are those seats gray leather?
|
Thanks I am glad I did a good job painting it, I was really worried that I would screw it up somehow.
Interior is Brown leather, but in bad shape. |
it came out really good!! waht made you decide to go with the tender blue? was the car originally white or brown?
|
It was the Blue. So I just kept the factory color. I have to say it is a very striking color and everyone that sees it has had good thing to say about it.
