well guys, car is going for a respray and i need to find out if its just a stock cym or something else.
im some of the pics it looks like it is, but then when you take a pic with a decent camera it looks different. also when in true sunlight its almost a gold colour. cheers karl Attachment 721993 Attachment 721994 Attachment 721995 Attachment 721996 Attachment 721997 |
What is the color code listed on the door jam sticker? I think the Euro models have that sticker but I am not sure. Other than that the only real way to know is to call Mazda and give them the VIN.
|
Doesn't look it to me. Competition Yellow Mica has....a pearly look to it.
|
|
Amp...the CYM chosen one must chime in.
|
dependent on your model series karl..
series six carried cym paint code j9.. sunburst yellow paint code hz thereafter.. series seven and eight.. this is all providing of course that your fd has not had a repaint... :D at bridgeported12a... |

Gah..I need to get a CYM.... :(
|
looks siick man
|
who gives a damn? thats a fookin nice car man!!
|
sorry guys, forgot to mention that it got resprayed in japland before i got it.
the paint is very pearly, just really hard to get a pic to show it. anyone got any more pics to compare :D |
check your door jam for paint code as stated earlier if available.. what year is your fd
|
mine is ppg candy paint
|
I dont think CYM really has no pearl effect to it.
It has neat effect when looked through polarized lenses (sunglasses) |
CYM does in fact contain pearl..
|
never been a fan of Yellow but something about CYM yellow makes me giddy like a school girl.:nod:
|
mine has pearl and a bit of metallic in it
|
dont think the guy before me when he got it painted went exacly by the paint code

you will not find the info on the jam in this case.. your only recourse would be to contact the original owner for info.. or possibly do a side by side comparison with another true cym fd... pictures wont do.. |
sorry about the confusion, contacting the original owner is going to be pretty impossible tbh, thats the problem though, there is no, true original cym in and around my area.
pictures are helping and i think that 99spec looks very different from mine. could you post a pic amp :D |
