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

old pix and dirty

mazdaverx713b 05-31-07 09:04 AM

excellent looking car, wacky!!!! do you still have the car?

Siraniko 05-31-07 09:51 AM

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.

mazdaverx713b 05-31-07 10:01 AM

do you have any updated pics of the car??

Hades12 05-31-07 01:37 PM

I keep forgeting to take them, Not much has happened though, Just Worked on the sagged clear a little is all.

mazdaverx713b 05-31-07 09:56 PM

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!

PAINT CODE SHEET

mazdaverx713b 06-04-07 06:58 AM

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....

:noyes: same car, but back in 2000

mazdaverx713b 06-04-07 11:53 PM

Hades, why are you selling the car??? looks great with that new paint!!

Hades12 06-05-07 08:30 AM

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.

mazdaverx713b 06-05-07 08:38 AM

well it looks great with the new paint on it. was it originally tender blue? are those seats gray leather?

Hades12 06-05-07 09:02 AM

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.

mazdaverx713b 06-05-07 10:05 AM

it came out really good!! waht made you decide to go with the tender blue? was the car originally white or brown?

Hades12 06-05-07 10:20 AM

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.
