Dealerships will just sell paint to joe smoe off the street? I dunno, I never matched paint before.

the miata is a different saphhire blue, its 2p, actually its a lot nicer.



if you go to a paint store and give them the year and color code they can get you paint

I just checked the VIN tag and the Paint is 5A. My car is an 87 GXL that was listed with Sapphire Blue metallic paint.
