Color finder If you just want a non-metallic color go to that site, it lets you pick colors and tells you the RGB and CMYK values. my ride was originally silver and was painted white before I aquired it, but I'm getting it ready to be paited Azure Blue. I had a similar idea of painting it two colors, one below the lateral line and one above, but after much debated, I realized Sevens really only look good with one color.

so your saying two-tone is a no go even if its made to look like a hard top convertable

it still wont look the shite

What I did was take a picture of the car with my digital camera and then recolor it on a photo editor. I just never really got it to look good with a two tone paint scheme, you might like it though, here's an example

I was thinking about trying that for my exterior mods (photo editor).

I dig the yellow and blue two tone scheme. Mine is a metallic silver color. For first gens I think that black is the sexiest color you could choose. Silver comes in a close second, since with black you pretty much have to wash it every day to keep the damn thing clean.

The plan for my 84 is a dark metallic green for the body and a metallic black for the hood (bonnet). Drift styl'n. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

ive seen a couple in a dark green, it looks great https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I don't know....you can't go wrong with a nice solid color...

I think they look the best in Black. I havnt seen one but I think that sliver color for the jspec 99 would look good on a 1st gen as well . mine is going to be repainted white with some red rotor graphics on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Mines blue

I don't know what color mine is officially, the VIN decodes it as blue, but wtf??? here's a pic, try the colorlab at http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/

..........4 times!!!! Almost like a piston engine.... never get it right...

well all the things youve all mentioned have made my mind up, danke.

think i'll do it like that red/siver one up ^ there but ill have black/mx-5 classic red

sept i gotta change the big dove wing ive got to black but

danke again

athough what can you say is a good colour for the front mazda badge on a black nose?

that red and silver is nice. its supposedly a factory paint from a 83 limited.

hell yeah, that silverstone metallic would look hot in a 1st gen. ill prob got with that if paint it before i get rid of it.

looks silverish in the pic. if u give us the color code we could help u find out exactly what color it is. you migh also be able to find out on rx7registry.com, and u can register your car if u havent already done so.

well i just wanna chuck this fact at you's

my ride aint got a colour code on the VIN plate
