i would go with a kandy from hok(house of kolor) like wild cherry or apple red. kandy is the best looking paint you can buy imho, its just hard finding some one to spray kandy also when you get it done tell him you want ppg clear it looks 10 times better than any i have seen and last longer

ok no web sites?

To be honest, go to an automotive paint shop near you. They have paint books which show the various colors of most cars.



Seeing a color on your computer screen can vary in person. For example, the new RX-8 red color, has minute gold color flakes in it. The color never shows up properly on the computer screen.

DomLee 08-22-2003 02:53 PM

www.houseofkolor.com But, they don't list their full line of colors. Rather, they list the various paint products that they have.



Another brand to look for is PPG. PPG is another reputable brand. Their paint is used on Lamborghinis.

DomLee 08-22-2003 03:24 PM

Here is a list of shops which carry automotive paints.

Most stores, carry more than one brand of paint. Ask them about what other brands they carry.

MazdaEnthused 08-22-2003 11:07 PM

ok sweet

Pazuzu 08-23-2003 03:12 PM

I hate to be an a$$, but don't you still have bigger fish to fry than whether your car has new paint? Did you ever get the exhaust clog taken care of? Now I see that you have knocking from your engine?



Seems like If *I* was in your shoes, I'd get the engine running right before I blew a wad on paint...

Are you dropping mad cream on the paint job? I mean are you taking it to a reputable place and getting a GOOD job or a Maaco job? You might want to consider the same color you have now if its going to be a half ass or even three quarter ass job.

MazdaEnthused 08-25-2003 02:12 PM

yea was actualy thinking of keeping it the same color but i would love a red though.... i am having someone that my father knows do it for me.... he has done many many paint jobs and i've seen his work... very good artist as well because he did a sweet looking creative like symbol on his semi.

Rob x-7 08-25-2003 08:27 PM

MazdaEnthused 08-25-2003 10:41 PM

Apex13B 08-25-2003 10:43 PM
