Help me find this color!
Hello,
I was fortunately able to buy this repu from S. Osley back in Aug/Sept. He told me that the color was Neptune Green (EX) off an RX3 I believe. I've been slowly but surely piecing it back together, and I've been able to get a new fender and fix the hood but when I search for the color it doesn't seem even remotely close and I'm at a dead end. Please help if you can. Alex https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8de819bbf6.jpg |

the color code would have been on a sticker on the bottom of the hood. |

seems more like a custom color ... either that or somebody mixed it up wrong
it certainly doesn’t match up to the EX code https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_swatch_mazda_1973 . |

very possible, and i tend to lean toward that explanation. i've seen it many times over the years. it even happened to my brother with his first Rx-7 (Sunrise Red, 1983). he had the whole car painted over and it came out looking this weird-looking (almost cartoonish), bright shade of red.

I think my only hope is taking the banged up fender that still has 98% of the paint to a local shop that can scan it. I was told there's one close to me, and see what they come up with.

have u tried contacting the guy u bought it from? maybe he remembers what color he used.
