But white seems like it'd get dirty and noticable quickly, or am I mistaken?

I own a couple of black cars, and a black FC is nice, but I gotta say, in pics and real life, NOTHING beats a white FC with all the moldings painted.

Next to that is the harbor blue metallic, found on 89-91 FC's, fairly rare. ITs between dark and light blue, with some metal added in, anda grayish tint in teh background.

i never thought the harbor blue looked as good as the brave blue mica in pictures. i like a darker blue, and absolutely love white (w/ s5 mouldings and all stuff painted bodycolor of course).

red is nice, but a huge precentage of FC's and FD's are red.

I like the "sleeper" appeal of the champagne gold.

IMHO, no offense to silver carred people, but silver just seems like one step above grey primer, i have never seen an impressive silver paint job because all it is, is grey that shines. grey is the FIRST color i think of when boredom comes to mind.

not bashing your choice in color, I just dont like it

I am running around with 94 GM Torch Red aka "Pull me over" red.

I love it and paid 1/4 of the price that a Mazda color would've cost me.

Go for yellow, the color Mazda intended the car to be. But black is also incredibly badass.

Yo,


I would say go with the Mazda Vivid Yellow that's on the new Protege 5 wagon. I love yellow FC's, especially since Porsche almost never made yellow 944, so people will definitely know it's an RX-7.

Metallic Gunmetal would be badass.


If I had to pick color (for almost any car) it would be Audi TT 225 Nimbus Grey

im still tryin to figure out what shade im gonna paint mine. its currently red but i dont need any more attention from cops than my loud flame spewng T2 already gets. silver is the hardest color to see in traffic so im goin with silver definatley. but i dont want bright silver, i want some medium metalic kinda silver, maybe with a little bit of pearl added in. the GM color "pewter metalic" caught my eye, but the problem with it is that it always looks so friggin dirty.
BTW...yellow looks really really really sweet. BUT ive never seen a stock bodies 87-88 FC that looks good yellow. they need at least the 89+ nose and side mouldings. and stock wheels on a yellow FC look very out of place. yellow FCs look good only when altered from stock.
