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.

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.

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

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....

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

Hades12

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?

Hades12

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?

Hades12

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.
