99 Spec Blue Color
So many have said that it's 1500 for a factory repaint, but woudl that apply to the blue that we never had? Is it a standard mazda color on any other cars (Protege MP3 I think maybe), and coudl I therefore get the paint job for 1500, or is it limited to the original colors that 7s came in?

hmm well if it aint 1500 then who knows, but I have read that a factory repaint was 1500, not a repaint by a shop but one done by mazda it sounded like. I only got that price from a post on the forum, apparently shouldn't believe everything I read, or something. Anyone know any facts on all this?

I don't think so Astro
hmm I just saw a real 99 one today and it looks different it's a little darker than the mp3. I found the factory options catalog here in Japan, I have it on the for sale section, email me if you want some...

That's what I paid last year. For $1,500, I repainted original Vintage Red, added a Racing Beat Type 1 Spoiler, had front 7 rear winshields removed and new gaskets installed and had the brak calipers painted red.
I shopped around and had quotes from $1,500 to $2,000 to $5,000 for the repaint. The $1,500 quote had a very good reputation, but not in the sport car market, so I went with him.
Came out absolutley marvelous!
I'd post a pic, but not sure how. I don't have a web site to store them on.

Burnt orange is ok on an FD of course on a car with a wild kit, and the right wheels, that color would look great...
Paint jobs vary sooooooo much, you really have to sit down, figure out what you want painted/removed/added on the car, and then go to a couple body shops and actually get a qoute. Usually the more detail you want, the more different things need to be removed, and the more the price goes ^^^. Paint jobs vary from a 200.00 Macco paint job to 5k-10k show paint jobs.. Plus body shops do have slower seasons of the year, and it may be possible to get a better qoute say in the fall compared to in the spring. Usually you get what you pay for, but I can't see spending 5k for paint on a daily driver either. That's a hell of alot of mods.
