Listen up guys.
We need to get a thread dedicated to OEM paint codes.

I don't wanna see your 83´ Montego Blue, simply cus it was not an option back then.

I don't wanna see a blurry picture.

I don't wanna see your rusted out POS.

I don't wanna see your car in the background of the picture out of focus.

---------------------------------------------------------
I would like to see your car with an OEM paint code.

I would like to see, in your post, which paint code it is and the name of the color.

I would like to see an in-focus shot of the car, modified or not.



Thanks and lets keep this thread clean, obey the above or dont post at all.

I don't have an OEM color so I will NOT post a pic of my sorry ride.

Very nice! Is some of the trim around the windows silver/chrome? I can't tell with the reflection. Love the rims too.

No buddy loves to wax his car .... so its just the light's reflection off that ... its easier to clean it up after you make love to it supposeble ... lol

OnlyOnThurs

^^LOL!

yeah the winsheild trim is chrome because the original black paint has come off (i like it chrome though...i think it looks good) other areas are still black but they are matching if you will.

Surely we can't be the only 2 with those rims on an RX-7... they just look so right on that body shape

Manntis

BTW I need 3 more of those rims - d'yer remember where you got them?

I'm liking that Tornado Silver. It even looks good with those aftermarket rims.

The Misty Blue 83 in my avatar is U6. And it looks as good today as when I bought it in 1982 (it pays to buy a car cover).

Both of my 85s are K3, but they have slightly different cast, I suspect because of different underlying primer colors.
