What color should I paint my fb?
I've got a wing that I could put on it too - the 3 piece fiberglass one - see, I sold it but the buyer backed out.. so now I'm debating keeping it.. but it'll only go on the car if I like it with whatever color I pick.
I'm partial to cream, dark grey, dark green, and dark green metallic...

Black or Dark Green metallic.
Although any shade of silver is great as it doesn't show the dirt or fine scratches. Personally I like the almost polished aluminum silver colour that Mercedes has on the 240's. It almost makes a car look like polished metal.
p.s. too bad about the wing - I'm just in the midst of buying the one from 85rotarypower!

Dont do cream, that paint looks like **** when it faids. I know from experience.
Im probably be going to paint mine 1 of 3 colors. The blue/green color from the newer mazfa's or The FD Silver, or if i can ever get my hands some CYM, i'd paint it that in a heart beat.

personally I love the look of a dark grey or a silver color. (sorry about using your picture, whoever's amazing FB this is...)
In the picture the rims are a little over the top but I love the way the car looks with that color and the shaved mirrors, badges and trim... Kinda the look im going for but with mirrors.

First off, what color is the interior? The interior will determine what range of colors will go well, to make the total package. Even the wrong color of red paint can make our 'wonderful' burgandy/wine interior look like sh*t, and that is hard to make any worse.

Go red,after all....its a sports car!!!!!
Seriously,Id like to see more colors with my 2 tone sceme.Lots of people seem to like the cockpit look I did,with the matching black windows,but I still havent seen anyone else anywhere that has done it.I kinda think it would look good no matter what color you choose,so long as the windows are dark......

Rollin' coal and 53mpg!
I'm painting mine (when I can afford a "real" paintjob) with the Dark Cherry Metallic from the Shinka Edition 2005 RX-8. Either that, or Montego Blue, from a 93 FD.
