Gentlemen, one question. If any of you own a Prairie green paint model, can tell me if the colour is metallic or solid?
Based on the Mazda code, it should be solid, but other sources say it's metallic.
Thank you
Hello Banzai and thanks alot for your links.
I found that name on a link also posted in one of the two you listed above, https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorco...r=1978&rows=50
However the colour is in the second link above, the 1978 Limited in green and it said being metallic.
Yes, Mach Green is an iconic color for SA's. Its the color that Mazda used to launch the Rx-7 to the world. It's a solid color, not metal flake but does have a fine metallic appearance to it, much like the Sonic Bronze color. Here is a Sherwin Williams formula for it out of a Mazda paint formula book.
As a followup, I saw where Prairie Green has a paint code of FN. Here is the formula for that. The same book also lists it as a B1800 color, whereas Mach Green (G4) is an Rx-7 only color.
