Smg944 that’s velocity red? What’s the big difference between velocity and vintage? Ahhh guys I'm so confused I just what the car to come out looking top doller. I love that glossy mirror look, which is what I want as well as a deep red rather than a pinky tone. I love the pic on page 2 I think it was a commercial add for the JDM rx7. To find the picture view page 2 its posted by FD3S2005 the first picture, what red is this???

 

93 blaze red I like it! What car is it off? Any more pics and paintcode?? If so pm me..

 

If im not mistaken, smg944's FD is vintage red.

 

A quick search turned up a code of NU. My car definitely doesnt look pink in person, as already mentioned click on my dyno link in my sig to get a look at the paint under some UV lights, which tend to show off any imperfections in the paint.

 

I did mine about a year ago in PPG Cherry Jewel.
Very Very hot in the sunlight!!!!

 

Alittle flashy for me, but hey if you like it why not!! Is there a difference between velocity red and vintage red??

 

Yes, there is. They are two entirely different colors.

 

Explain or show me pictures of one and the other plleaase!!

 

My FD is NOT VR. I have the paint code/name if you are interested. You can also see it in person the next time I'm in town.

 

Thats nice.. Im guessing vintage red would be similar maybe alittle deeper. Im sure this is on the viper red-orangy side. I have a video Im trying to find of a revspeed red rx7 I think is perfect. Monday is the dateline to solve this damn thing, I appreciate the help guys and I really do owe you! I have a feeling we might solve this by tonight..

 

No answer so far, can anybody post a picture difference between velocity and vintage red???

If I were to purchase a 99 rx7 from japan what would the red color code be? Vintage red?

 

Hello?

 

Mazda velocity red on an rx-8. again, a 3 second google image search turned this pic up

 

As of now my decision is vintage red with a gorgous clear coat..well done guys!!

VR>all others (including ferrari red) lol no offense guys

***Still curious is vintage red used on jdm 7's??

 

ah HA! So you're the one making the crop circles, lol. Nice pic. I'm personally going with the Candy ride like my VTX1300, or Harley's Black Cherry if I don't go back to my original color of black.

Here's my Vtx:

 

the paintcode for vintage red is "nu"? is that all I provide the body shop with?? I figured he might need to know the brand or something

 

the brand is up to you or your paint shop. the code specifies a specific shade. Tell your painter 1993 mazda rx7 vintage red paint code nu, and tell him you want it clear coated.

like i mentioned before, my FD was painted Vintage Red using german Spies Hecker paint, and I love it. Sikkens is also a brand I've heard spoken highly of.

 

just a fyi it doesnt matter what color you pick to go with the best paint it depends o which maufactuer. Like Dupont, PPG, Sikkens etc.


IMO i would go with a ferrari red or honda red. I can get the paint codes and years today whil i am at work ( i work in a body shop) and post them here tonight after work.

 

No I think I'm going to stick with vintage red, thanks for the suggestion though!

 

Just curious is vintage red (nu) used on 99 japanese rx7s?

 

Here´s my lambo-red 7

 

Alright guys I dropped off the 7 tonight!! Im so nervous, I went with vintage red (3 coats, 2-3 coats of clear coat). He said hes using PPG thats who they deal with. Anyways I can only pray and hope the car is done in two weeks and looks somewhat decent. Thanks for all the help guys if you pm'd me with suggestions, you know who you are and I appreciate the tips!

 

VIPER RED!
with a whole lot of color sanding! vintage red looks to pink imho...
-J-

 

^^ Thats clean.!

 

Where did you get pink from?? If my car is gonna look pink I better tell them not to put that damn vintage red on.. All the vr repaints I have seen have been a deep red (purple blue hue). If you ask me no offense your viper red is more so on the orangy pink side as evident with the pictures.
