well hey everyone.

I'm new to this forum and just bought a RX-7 84 GSL .
My car needs to be painted but Im not sure which color looks the best. I thinking to paint it Red or black. Which one you think looks better on a 1st gen

 

REPU Lawn Green!

 

mine is black and I think it is a damn fine color for these cars. I think red is a little too flashy, at least for my taste. If you want to see some go the Photo gallery mine is in there and I'm sure you could find some red ones as well.

 

yellow

 

Depends on your interior color.

 

yes most definately yellow heresmine

 

Defn depends on your interrior

I have always been a proud supporter of BROWN!

 

brown is a good color

 

Blue!!!

 

hey rotarydankus again

give us more angles of that yellow 7

 

sunbeam silver

 

I agree, interior color will limit your choices. Miami? Forget black or red. The sun will kill red, and black will make it like an oven. Silver is a great color here in Fl. So is white.

 

Good point Carl I didn't look at his location.

 

One thing to consider in choosing a color is how do you drive and how much attention do you want to attract with the nice police officers? Red or anything brightly colored will get more notice. Some people need all the stealth they can get, LOL.

Black is hot and also higher maintenance i.e. more difficult to keep looking good. Any swirl marks or imperfections in the paint really stand out, not to mention dust and water drops.

It is possible to swap interior colors. The dash takes some time getting in and out but not that bad.

 

yeah black is good color but have to wash it almst twice weekly if not more!
mine is charcoal grey red interior ill have pis soon

 

Yea, I live down a long gravel driveway and I can barley get the highway without needing a bath!

 

I live on a gravel road and the metallic grey is great ( I think it's the V-9 stock code?) Unfortunately my black BBS mesh rims get fairly dirty and they're a sob to clean
Heres a bad picture. I wish I knew how to put a decent pic on here.

Thanks. I had to really dumb down the image to get it to post on here. Some folks have their images as sharp as a bell..I have yet to figure that out as well.
(You may find this hard to believe but I'm, ehh, not too computer savvy )

 

If you want, send me the pictures you'd like online in higher quality and I can do that for you. I'll PM you my email address.

 

Damn sexy car Tom. Nice wheels, nice paint, and nice spoiler!

Thanks Diablone! I'll do that tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks for the praise Nekky- she is in great shape. 75K original miles, flawless interior (albeit burgandy!). I plan on keeping this one as is with the exception of a basic airdam/spoiler.

 

There's a lot to be said for painting it the original color, if the door jambs and underhood area are decent.
