Hey guys, Im about to take my car to the body shop to get it painted... Damn sun in FL fried my paint made it look like a Red Cherry Matte .

So I just moved to Santa Cruz, Bolivia and I brought my 7 with me, and I think its time to start out fresh with a paint job.

Here's a pic I took a while ago when I was living in Boca Raton FL before moving down to Bolivia.




So I was thinking about paint my car with the True Red that comes in the Mazda Mazda 3 and MX-5 Miata.




Im also considering the Victory Red that comes in the 05-08 Chevy Corvette and Radiant Red that comes in the 02-08 Lotus Elise





Do you guys know about any interesting Red paint codes? Can you please post pics of RX-7s or other cars so I could have an idea what you're saying?

Any oppinions and/or suggestions are welcome

Yeah I know, but I have a dent in the right front fender, my sunroof used to have rust and bought a used MX-3 sunroof from a Junkyard (its the same sunroof) and spraypainted with the closest color. Im just gonna have it fixed and painted.

My 07 chevy pickup is victory red, it's okay. Next to my FD, the chevy red, even though it's new, doesn't look as good as my FD.

Just think what new stock VR paint job, maybe with some bronze pearl to finish it off.

Its the very same . So dont waste your time looking for an RX-7 sunroof... just go to your local junkyard and look for MX-3s with sunroofs, I got mine for $15

As others have said, try to do a FULL detail. Look up on autopia and see if there are any good detailers in your area.

Hey Black Magic, can you post pics of your RX-7? Today I saw a Red 92-99 BMW M3 here in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and it looked very nice.... Im not sure if its the OEM Red, or a Custom Red but it was a nice lookin Red.

That's the Mazda True Red that Im talking about... it comes in the Mazda MX-5, 3, 6.... I suppose its the same Red that's from Mazdaspeed.
