Question what white is my car???

sorry ive been trying to search but i cant figure out what tone of white my 87 base model is.
86-88
Artic Silver Metallic - J5
Tornado Silver Metallic - K8
Brilliant Black - PZ
Sunrise Red - RH
Crystal White - UC
Dover White - WU
Noble White - WY
Satin Gold Metallic - 1A
Claret Metallic - 2H
Royal Maroon Metallic - 3A
Sapphire Blue Metallic - 5A
True Red - NP

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

I found an aluminum hood but its from an s5 so what is the easiest way to tell if it is the same white as my car?

did you check the vin plate on the firewall, it should be there.

I'm going to say it's most likely Dover white.

I'm pretty sure crystal white was first available on the 10thAE in 88. And I think Noble is a TII color as well, but not really sure.

Who cares if its barely off your lucky you got a WHITE, some rx7 guys have different painted fenders/doors/mirrors and hoods and don't care.

i'm sure they arn't off by all that much, if you are getting it painted though it shouldn't matter. Also the estimate can depend on dings etc. basically the condition of the hood.

don't paint it. Our entire region is filled with multi colored RX-7's. If yours is one color, you'll make the rest of us look bad.

My car is an 86 and it is Dover white, that is the only year they ever made that color. So i think you have noble white, not sure.

To rephrase the question posted earlier, whu don't you look at your VIN? You know, the plate under your hood, on the firewall next to the wiper motor? That'll tell you at least what color white YOUR car is. It's a little hard to guess without even seeing it. I suppose you could send us some paint chips!

BTW, my 87 Base was not white at all.
