I just bought 89' GTUs, the paint is really oxidized. Im going to repaint red, and would like to see some photos of red 2nd gen's to get an idea what color to paint it. I belive that Mazda had two different reds for this car.

 

this is my old 87' prity oxidized red but... still red

 

ooo mine has a fresh red paint job. pic was taken in the rain tho

 

i was looking at the wheels..... what the **** dude? Honda wheels??

 

Here's mine. It's a 91.

 

mine is the original redish

 

My '91 Turbo - orig Blaze Red



'My '88 Vert - orig Sunrise Red

 

heres a nice one

 

lmao .. yeah i asked myself the same thing ... WHY !??

 

Thanks for the photos, I like the Blaze red. Was the other factory red lighter or darker than that for 89-91 cars?

 

89 Tii

 

88 SE Sunrise Red.

 

here is my '89 Blaze Red GTU



the mazda paint code for blaze red is SQ, a good paint shop should be able to mix the exact same thing if you tell them that

 

holy huge pic batman, i agree with turbo, geargrabber what the **** are you thinking ??? honda rims on your 7 .............beat down

 

sorry, im at work and cant resize and i agree on teh honda rims...why god, why?

 

The S4 red is lighter than the S5 red. If you want a nice shiny red, I say you go for the blaze red. It's quite a very red color that can turn heads.

 

 

1986-1987 had 2 shades of red (pure red code NP & royal marron code 3A),

1988 was a 1 year only red (sunrise red code RH),

1989-1991 was a different shade of red (balze red code SQ).

(according to mazda)

 

splin, your grarage looks like my garage... freaky.

 

so what honda was the rims off of

 

My red 7:

 

Here...

 

hey teamfuel where did u get the front bumper cover in the 3rd pic?
i'm having a hard time finding a nice cover in canada for my 90 rx7

 

It isn't my car...I wish it was...ask around though, I think it is the GP style, I've alot of them on ebay...not to sure about the quality of those, though.
