That color is the Sunshine Red Color Code RH from Mazda. It was used from 1976 through 1992. My car is also painted with the same colors. If you would like to see it to compare got to http://www.rotaryrx7.com under my rx7 page. I am pretty sure that that is the correct paint code....

Yeah, Sunrise Red is a nice color, but I have yet to see one that is this deep of a red in the shade, and turns this orange in the right light. Then again I haven't seen that many with really nice paint.

Sunrise Red is the orginal Mazda color - I have an 85 with orginal Sunrise Red paint - always kept garaged - paint looks new - and looks like the ones in the picture you posted - however, car only has 49K miles - which helps keep the paint looking new in addition to always keeping it out of the sun and weather
