Hi guys,
Im currently stripping my car, and need to decide on a color that im happy with, its currently purple..

Id like to go a full electric blue with heavy purple pearl..
but am open to suggestions and ideas, as its hard to visualise..

post pics of 2nd gens with custom/non factory paint, with specs on paint if possible.

this is by far the hardest decision iv made since iv had the car..

currently getting GT35/40 turbo, tial wastegate, engine is extendported, 3mm seals, doweled, microtech, twin plate clutch etc etc,
jetspeed kit, etc etc

color is the final choice

Cheers

Ben-

 

i just painted my car myself with plain old black. I love it. will get some pics once i get it all finished.

 

ya but black is to plain, to hard to keep clean too, I'm thinking of s nice lightening blue, someone has it and I love it, its like dark blue mixed with light blue, dark on focal point light blue around it. if that mad any sense

 

The best sold colors (ie no effects) on the car are as follows:

Turbo II:
Medium White
Metallic Medium Blue
Black
Darker Silver
Dark Blue
R1 Yellow
Dark Red

Convertible:
White, White, and White
Metallic Medium Blue
Triple Black
Dark Blue
R1 Yellow

NA:
Red
Black
Metallic Medium Blue

Avoid medium grey, period. Some greens look OK, but green is WAY to easy to screw up. "VIPER BLUE" isn't a good color if you ask me.

Mazda had some good paint codes, although R1 yellow should have been one of the OEM choices.

86-88
J5 Artic Silver Metallic
K8 Tornado Silver Metallic
PZ Brilliant Black
RH Sunrise Red
UC Crystal White
WU Dover White
WY Noble White
1A Satin Gold Metallic
2H Claret Metallic
3A Royal Maroon Metallic
5A Sapphire Blue Metallic
NP True Red

89-92
5N Brave Blue MC
5D Harbor Blue Metallic
3G Shadow Silver Metallic
1F Winning Silver Metallic
WY Noble White
UC Crystal White
SQ Blaze Red
PZ Brilliant Black

 

Think you should paint it CYM yellow. That paint looks bad ***. Yellow with a pearl to it.

 

The new mica blue on '99 and newer is pretty sweet too. i forgot the exact name off the top of my head. i'm pretty sure its innocent blue mica...

 

Well if it helps any, I am going to repaint my S4 NA competition yellow, don't know if it will be plain gloss or mica. hey is that what R1 yellow is?
