Any pics of Grey FD's?

Was Grey a factory paint scheme for FD's at any time? JDM perhaps?

Thanks

Wow, beautiful color.

A car Im looking at is painted "Charcoal Gray"

Is this an OEM mazda color or some other manufacturer? Or completely custom?

That photo I posted above is OEM, or at least it's a paint based off of the OEM color. Here are all the color codes for FDs:

1992-2002 Mazda RX-7 Color Codes:

J9 = Competition Yellow Mica
25G = Titanium Grey Metallic (JDM)
PZ = Brilliant Black
PT = Chaste White
M8 = Montego Blue
3L = Silverstone Metallic
NU = Vintage Red
20P = Innocent Blue Mica
??? = Sunburst Yellow

Hard to say. If it's in this country, it's a repaint/color change. You'd have to ask the person who had it repainted if they used a Mazda color code, or one from another manufacturer.... there's lots of charcoal grey cars out there from other manufacturers.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm willing to bet the color is not Mazda.

But we'll see. Feel free to keep adding pics

I think that Charcoal Grey is a color on the current Mazda Tribute.
