I have finaly picked out a color that will work with the brown inteiror..I know that red would work with the brown but i wanted something diffrent and I belive i have picked the perfect match and hopefully I am the only 1st on this forum that will come with this 1st so if others know of someone with a1st gen in this color please post pics I would like to see how it looks. what do you guys think. I have already gotten the paint code from the dealer so picture it this color with the silver konig rewinds..

 

its hard to say. Some newer color just doenst go well with older cars.

 

Quite flamboyant. I dont know if it will look good or not, maybe someone can photoshop that color on a picture of your RX?

 

some one please hook me up with the photo shop I have until friday

 

it s either do a diffrent brown or do another color and paint the engine bay black temporaly because I will not be able to pull the motor until winter time

 

Stay with a Factory Mazda Color...Mazda 6

 

true true..but remeber I have a brown out brown in gotta work from both angels

 

dye the interior black

 

any one with photoshop please help lets get a thread going with 1st gens with diffrent colors also with diffrent styles etc.. that way we dont go through this again

 

so is thier anybody that can work thier magic with photo shop

 

So I guess I going with brown with maybe gold flakes?

 

Gold flakes is a bad idea IMHO. Unless you're gong to install hydraulics/airbags, dayton wire rims and a fuzzy dice hanging in the rear view mirror, then maybe. But for that set-up, you may as well get an 60's Impala.

 

Hmm... Fuzzy Dice, that could work

I dunno, that color looks good on the new Eclipse, dunno about your car...

I would try to Photshop your car, but 1 I need a photo, two I dun have a power cord for meh Mac Pro; so I can't use photoshop, and three I have no time these days XD.. srry man

 

Dark Green works very well with browns too

 

Most modern colors do not go well with the 1st gen body style. It's more of a "Keep it simple" color scheme.

My 1st 7 which was a 83 GSL was the original brown color and looked very nice. I don't have a scanner to copy the photo but will try and take a decent photo with my digital camera so you can get an idea.

Stay away from the loud colors.

 

Krylon has a new color, Snot Green, and it looks slick! :P

 

I love that color!

 

so I'm staying with brown I was looking at her today and I honestly getting used to it.

 

There is a 1st gen that color already (orange) or close to it and that thing looks beautiful. We all have our own opinions but I seen 1st gens from PR and Australia w/ some color on them that really look great.

 

you know what I'm going to surprise everybody...I am going to leave it with my friend that owns the shop and tell him SURPRISE ME...paint it like its your seven...(good thing too because he wants one so bad but cant because he has to many projects as well so I always let him take it for a ride on the weekends when ever I go in the garage). he does great work, he always going local dealer ship cars..such as MAZDA, BMW, Honda you name it he has them evryday and of course high priced jobs...so I feel confident with who I am leaving it with. Today I am dropping off the new family addition (AWD Subaru legacy wagon) has a little rust spot and minor dings I want to get done before I give it to my wife to drive..the 2001 XL-7 is wasting alot of gas for the driving that she does.So I amgetting rid of my toyota pickup and keeping the XL-7. So in the meantime I will heep looking for colors that I like and see if we all can agree.

 

How about a nice candy color?

 

you see that's what i am talking about now thats motiviation!!!

 

I have a brown/brown, GSL that I'm sitting on as a replacement for when I get rid of my 2nd gen DD. I didn't like the color at first, but it's grown on me. Once I pull it out of storage, it will get the oem color after the body work. It's alo getting the 4 piece Kaminari kit I have stashed.

Browns are an odd color and they aren't seen very ften. It's also a good color not to get noticed in when playing. LOL

 

what do you think of those e-bay poly kits, I want to put a kit on but do not want to mess with fiberglass.
