I just got my new RX-7 3 Gen. (1993), its been abandond on a warehouse for 3 years, i need repaint it, the car is currently silver but im considering new colors...

what would you guys recomend for the color?

 

I personaly love silver! Maybe a different shade? Keep in mind when you change to different colers that to do it right you must remove much of the interior and paint the engine bay. Or it will look half *** IMO.


Good luck with the car.

if it's been sitting in a warehouse for 3 years how is the overall condition of the rest of the car? i would make sure everything is mechanically sound before worrying about the paint, but that's just me. i have a messed up door that i haven't fixed in two years

 

yea really, make sure everything is running correctly before you go out and spend $2k on a paint job when what you really need is $2k to rebuild the twins.

anyways, lets see some pics of her when you get a chance!

i've alredy checked everything the car is amazingly preserved.... man its completly modified and just waiting to start growling again.

 

stick with the silver. I think its the best color for an fd and a lot less time and money envolved in the paint job.Make sure the shop (or you) removes everything that doesnt get painted, to keep edges from chipping.

 

white

 

 

fd's look great in any color! I like all the colors but if I ever repainted my car id have it painted the color of the blue spirit r.

 

Silver is one of the most rare and best colours for a FD. And it's a REAL pain to change colours. (Door jambs, engine bay etc) If you don't do those areas it looks really cheap.

 

+1

The R1 I'm picking up is Red and if I were to repaint it, it would be white. I love white FD's... Mmmm

We demand pics of this ressurected beast.

 

White all the way :-), but Silver is my second fav.

 

whites my personal fav as well. i would just keep silver if it was mine.

 

Loved the phrase :P so i had 2 use it.

I promise that this weekend im going 2 the warehouse... im going to take pics of every step of the resurrection.... but i can assure you the first pics wont be a pretty sight...

at least i know what i want at the end... take a look at what i want my fd to become....

what do u think?

 

nice and thats looks like a lot of good hard work
but personally i dont like lambo doors on any cars.

 

And it definitely needs wheels. Stockers aren't cutting it.

 

- the lambos right? N actual 99 spec lights 2 go n the bumper..

 

I think it's a ricer's dream.

 

I think it looks a bit too much show for my taste. The RX-7 is really nice with a stock look. I would rather use money on a little more go, instead of all that show.

 

I vote for white. Thats what color im gonna paint mine. Only way to go IMO

 

no lambo doors please...

 

-1 on the lambda doors.

Get a civic then do the doors man.
