hey guys, i was thinking about the fate of my gold 81. I am starting to grow on the original color of the car. I was going to paint it a darker version of the factory color or that bronzish orange that you see on 79s ... but the fact that the paint is ... starting to look better each time i look at it . eh ...
too bad it wasnt red or something lol .
what do you guys think ?


because the car was repainted b4 i got it i didnt really get to soak up the original color .

 

I like it, but red is better

 

lol , i already have a red one though... that is the bad thing .

 

How about with a little bit of metallic flake in it?

mmm sonic bronze

 

Well, the gold colour kind of grows on you, doesn´t it?!?
As far as I can see, there´s not many gold RX-7 around nowadays, but it´s actually a great colour once you get used to it.
I hesitated at first, but after seeing a couple of really nice gold ones here on the forum I was convinced that I should stick with the original colour on my car!! Just check out "slo78u" and his car in the thread below and you´ll know what I mean.
