FD New paint color opinions...
I have a 93 touring addition i bought almost a year ago, the dealer i got it from must have gotten a maco job done on it or something because its fading and the clear coat is looking gloomy on the front right fender... It has the tan interior, anyone have recommendations on a color? I was thinking to stick with the stock Vintage Red, but i like change, especially if it looks awesome.... Thanks for any input....

My buddy just recommended the same thing, saying it would decrease the value of the car to change it from what the title says. What would a good paint job run? I dont want a fancy paint job just repainted a single color... Probably red now.

I don't think repainting a VR car will decrease the value. I think its the only color that will actually increase in value from being repainted because there are so many of them. Unless you have a really low mileage FD I would say you can redo the color. Besides, you can always paint it back if you want.
If you want to stay red, mazda used a newer red that was used later in production that looks terrific. Its a little darker.
If you want to stay with mazda OEM colors...
There seem to be a few favorites with tan interiors.
People generally like MB with tan. I think a black exterior goes with all interior colors. I would avoid white + tan like the plague however. CYM is another popular color but it will look pretty bad with tan I think.
If you want some ideas outside of the mazda colors, it would be better if you posted a color and let everyone criticize you about it. Thats pretty much how it goes around here hahaha.
I'm in the same boat as you. I decided to repaint mine TGM and I swapped my tan interior for a black one. The interior looks GREAT.

No it's not Turbo'd
I went Ferrari Rossa Red, it's a bit more orange while the stock vr, is a bit more blue, but I didn't want to disassemble the car for a complete color change, and a partial would have looked odd, plus you can always tell where they makes the door stickers etc... it's just never 100% This way I painted 100% of the exterior and left areas where it matters very little like door jams etc the old VR.

My car is currently being painted this color
House of Kolors - Candy Apple Red. Pictures don't do it justice, just a beautiful and high depth color in person. You will spend more on just the paint then some do on paintjobs. It is important to get the right color first, so your not changing it later.
