I'm not sure how accurate it is though...or at least it's not complete. I have a '79 that is "Sonic Bronze Metallic" and I don't see that in the list. It's somewhere between the Sunrise (RH) and the Copper (Y9).

Yeah it's definitely not 100% accurate. There is a red color missing for S3's also.

What happened to the other site that had color codes? Was it Felix's?

Manntis

I put up as many colour codes as people made me aware of... if there are others, email me them and I'll add them to the list

Were those US-only colours?

And I've got Y9 down as Copper Metallic

I've used auto color library for years. They pretty much have all of the factory colors for domestic and foreign cars. Here's a link for the 1979 model year. Kevin

Slowly adding missing colours. It's tough, because that paint guide you linked to seems to show US market colours only, whereas another guide shows Canadian only, the samples don't scan well for true matching, etc.

Here is what my 79 SA N.Am. Spec OEM parts book describes for color availabilty of SAs:
A9-Daytona Blue Metallic
E6-Beat Black Metallic
G4-Mach Green Metallic
K3-Sunbeam Silver Metallic
RH-Sunrise Red
WN-Aurora White
YU-Spark Yellow
Y5-Sonic Bronze Metallic

Note this is the 79 SA - don't know if there were additional colors for the 80 SA? Anyone??

I have seen every color EXCEPT the "Mach Green Met" - which _might_ be the bright (!) green favored by the japanese home market but never sold here (??).
I attach a pic of what I assume is this color...

Manntis

Can you not find the paint code on it? It looks like G2.

12a_1979_rx7

Manntis

have you looked on the driver's side firewall?

12a_1979_rx7

Manntis

Inner door jam? I've no idea where it is on Aussie models...
