Andrizzanizz 11-28-07 07:05 PM

wow thats a beautiful color.

mazdaverx713b 11-28-07 07:05 PM

i would vote for shade green. i think it looks excellent on the convertables!

Andrizzanizz 11-28-07 07:08 PM

do you have any pics of verts with shade green?

phoenix7 11-28-07 07:10 PM

isn't that the Infini color? available in the states as a Mazda 929 color??

that color isn't too bad but the midnight blue is the best color for the vert IMO.

mazdaverx713b 11-28-07 07:17 PM

i dont have a pic of an FC in shade green. i was looking for ne but cant seem to find one. however NZConvertible has one. here's a link to his profile with pics: https://www.rx7club.com/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=9126

phoenix7 11-28-07 07:18 PM

yup Infini green. That is a nice color too.

Andrizzanizz 11-28-07 07:19 PM

yeh thats a nice color too, but from far away you can mistake it as a dark blue or black.
but i still like it.ha

yeh its not a bad color.
but i get people always asking me if my car is purple.
i know it looks blue in that picture but sometimes when i look at it, it seems purple also.ha

mazdaverx713b 11-28-07 07:23 PM

not to be a dick, but your TII wheels are on the wrong side. swap the right to the left and the left to the right. other than that your car looks really nice!!!

Andrizzanizz 11-28-07 07:27 PM

ha yeh i noticed that.
ill probably do that tommorrow since my car is up on stands.
and your not being a dick if you give positve remarks.ha

rx8 winning blue

phoenix7 11-28-07 07:36 PM

yeah, i saw one today. I don't think it will look right on the 7.

Juiceh 11-28-07 07:51 PM

Isn't that harbor blue the most rare FC vert color?

If it is you may want to reconsider repainting. But its up to you in the end. Its your car and only yours.

phoenix7 11-28-07 07:52 PM

probably, i've only seen it on Coupes. This is the first time i've seen it on a vert.

Andrizzanizz 11-28-07 08:02 PM

mazdaverx713b: is that your car bc its clean as hell.
juiceh: i heard it was a rare color but i have seen it on a few verts on this forum and i really dont like it.

mazdaverx713b 11-28-07 09:55 PM

the car belongs to a fellow member, Johny zoom. it is a beautiful car. 6900 original miles. i actually dont have any current pics of mine...the car is in my garage and i wouldnt mind if you'd like to see it.

I vote for that color!!! I'm color blind so my opinion doesnt really matter.

introVert 11-28-07 11:54 PM

Black FTW.

But I was contemplating painting my s4 vert Graphite Mica as well- would really look nice with my gray/black interior...

Either one rocks on the vert.

FirebirdSlayer666 11-28-07 11:54 PM

Harbor blue FTW!!!! But if you're going to repaint, K8 Tornado Silver Metallic

phound69 11-29-07 04:29 AM

my two colors of choice

90% chance I'll go a dark forest green when I do the repaint (one day, someday)
10% I'll go dark purple.

100% I'll go with the tan top (that'll be alteration #1).

Just not sure if I want to do a t2 swap, or keep it n/a

Andrizzanizz 11-29-07 09:23 AM

they make tan tops for verts??

introVert 11-29-07 12:00 PM

Yes- aabestco made a tan top when I looked into it about 1.5 years ago.
But if you go with the tan top, it's gonna look funny unless you do the interior tan as well, imho. Hence my scrapping the idea. If I can get a german cloth/stayfast canvas top in grey, that might change my mind about straying from stock color/material...it would look good with dark grey paint, if it matched properly.

Orange.....25T - Spicy Orange Mica

i always thought royal maroon metallic would be a nice red on a vert as well

phoenix7 11-29-07 01:31 PM

Orange isn't very nice.

Andrizzanizz 11-29-07 02:34 PM

yeh im not going to paint it orange or red, even though they are some nice colors.

Ballin_is_a_Habit 11-29-07 05:23 PM

you cant do yours midnight blue because imma do mine midnight blue

RoninRX7 11-30-07 02:40 AM

I LOVE harbor blue. I think its the coolest factory RX7 color, followed closely by Infini Green, then the JDM Dark Grey. Heres some pics of my harbor blue Vert

or green like this one:

Andrizzanizz 11-30-07 10:21 PM

are you serious on the pink?? ha.
and yeh that green looks nice.

I love pop-up lights 11-30-07 10:33 PM

champagne...

On a paint note does anyone know what the factory name for that dark mulberry color is? I've seen it on one FC and it looked awesome, apparently it's really rare...

Derek 357i 12-01-07 05:01 PM

If you have a blue interior your colors are pretty limited. I have a white vert with blue interior and am going to do a repaint. I decided blue, silver and white are really the only good options with the interior color, so I am going to do a Mercedes Silver.

rotary roderick 12-01-07 05:09 PM

Brave blue mica

danhaggis 12-01-07 07:09 PM

imo the blue conv. is a beautiful color. My 86 is the same blue and im painting the top half black after im done with my t2 swap

Andrizzanizz 12-02-07 02:31 AM

dammnn so many choices.ha
yeh im thinmking that mercedes silver would look good too.

Albe's G 12-02-07 02:36 AM

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...7_Green_02.jpg

I second this color.

phoenix7 12-02-07 04:53 AM

that IS a nice color.

Ex-Eg-Driver 12-02-07 05:31 AM

That green one...drools...harbor blue is also a very nice stock color.

NC_FC3S 12-02-07 06:19 AM

Mine is a 90 with the original red factory paint...I REALLY like that Midnight Blue though ! If if were starting over I would really consider that color.

That would be Claret Mica, and I have considered that color on more than one occasion. It was only an option in 88, but I have never seen a 'vert in that color.
