93silverbullet 10-28-05 02:24 AM

Looks great! Then again... I'm partial to silver myself!

MrRx 10-28-05 06:18 AM

The FD is the only car I like in silver, nice car!

Snook 10-28-05 07:04 AM

you should have really gotten quicksilver from the supra thats a pretty color

kuroi FD 10-28-05 07:18 AM

That looks awesome, when i repaint my car its definetly going to be silver or white!

Steve Abitbol 10-28-05 07:32 AM

nicccccccccce, what part of NC is that??? looks real familiar!

fastcarfreak 10-28-05 07:36 AM

gotta love a fresh paint job on a silver FD. I love that the car is bone stock, externally.

quicksilver_rx7 10-28-05 07:51 AM

Thanks for all the comments on the car. This car is for sale and will probably end up on Ebay and autotrader within the next week or so.

No, a bodyshop in Charlotte painted it.

Thanks, ManPower collision in Charlotte. The painter does A LOT of custom work for shows.

I painted the calipers myself. I just used some hi-temp red engine paint from Advanced auto. After the paint dried, I went back over the Mazda nameplate with a dremel-mounted wire brush wheel and polished it off.

Yep, the bodyshop painted it Porsche red. I saw the silver one in the Yamaguchi book and thought it would be neat since my car does have red interior.

That is a nice color but I am very partial to the Silverstone

x2boxers 10-28-05 08:04 AM

Why are you selling? That is a rare one silver/red int. The pics look great, still love the silver/red combo thats what i have also.

It's just not practical for me to keep it right now.

SayNoToPistons 10-28-05 10:26 AM

MmMmm sexy.

btw. 4 star ultimate paint protection x 3 looks great on silver. if you want your car to looks really really dark and deep try meguiars #26 x 2.

:drool: Beautiful!!!

robsatx 10-28-05 06:58 PM

Very Nice!
 
Looks GREAT! Did you pay around $3K for the job?

prrex4ever 10-28-05 08:18 PM

Beautiful. That body is so straight and sexy.

fastcarfreak 10-28-05 10:38 PM

why sell after you just painted? Would have made more sense to sell before hand. Unless of course you ran into some troubles afterwards, then i understand. Good luck with the sale regardless.

SayNoToPistons 10-28-05 11:25 PM

^ ding ding!
