My 88 gxl is a weird maroon metalic color. I'm wondering if this is a factory color because I am having difficulty finding touch up paint for it. The engine bay is maroon as well as under the carpet, so it must have been some sort of maroon to begin with. The exterior might be a diferent shade though. Any ideas?

3a royal maroon metallic perhaps? the color code is on a plate on the firewall

Yea, I'm trying to decide if mine's maroon or not.. It looks good and bright redish under the carpet in the hatch..

Mine is definately some sort or maroon. I was trying to find something at the local autoparts store to match. I couldn't find any mazda maroons listed in the duplicolor catalog.

In my brochure or whatever for my car, I think I remember seeing maroon before.. but, I can't remember if someone just wrote it down or if it was offical or whatever..

I tried matching paint can tops to the paint and found one that was pretty close. Need to fix a chunk that pealed when Vosko push started the car with a truck.

i'm never gonna hear the end of it even though i got that thing started when the original owner emptied the gas tank into the engine haha

Pushed started with a truck.. that's a new one on me.. at least it did get started. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Gas in the engine.. smooth..

ok let me go by saying it was ridiculously flooded haha

My color is sunrise red but maybe i should call it sunrise orange/red indian sun. since the color is fading im thinking of painting it a candy apple red. What do u think or re-paint it the stock color

you need this Mach Green Metallic Clearcoat G4

I was bored.

his car looks purple compared to that lol

dammit get the color code! thats will solve the problem



mike

maybe its not a stock color

Heefspooled-thanks alot. You found my car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png well, the color at least..

is the engine bay the same color as the exterior? Ususally a paint shop wouldn bother to paint that area

Yes its the same color.

so whats the color code? its on the firewall vin plate



mike

It's probably gold. If It's maroon inside, and a different color out. Does it look like this GXL below?

not that bad of a color
