I saw Titanium Gray today
I was at my dealer ordering my Rotary Accent Package when i saw a beautiful Miata outside, a beautiful gray color with a blue top. The gray looked almost like a gunmetal color, seemed to have a teeny tinge of blue in it. I asked my salesman about it and he said, "That's your color!" I went and looked at the window sticker which said something like "Shinsen Edition" (don't remember the exact Japanese word) and the color was given as Titanium Gray.
I'm psyched! I had thought about waiting for a silver one but now that I have seen Titanium Gray in natural light with my own eyes, NO WAY. Those of you who have ordered the color, I really doubt you will be disappointed with your choice. It's gorgeous and looks like a million bucks. Pics don't do it justice. The blue seats and top of the Miata looked really fab with the gray car. Wish they made blue available inside the RX-8 somehow. If any of you have seen Porsche's Seal Gray, it is very similar- but I thought the Mazda shade was even nicer. What's funny is now that I have made that comparison, I realize the SG was my color of choice for the Boxster, too... |
Any small doubt that was in my mind about my choice in color was reafirmed when I saw the Shinsen Miata the other day as well. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :cool:

Man your lucky. I have seen the red paint, but not the Grey. The red had like gold flakes in the paint. You said the grey has blue flakes????.
|
No blue flakes- no flakes at all. It's more of a color tone issue, like it is a cooler tone of gray while being very deep and rich at the same time. It's kind of hard to describe- imagine between a gunmetal blue and a cold gray, almost a deep, liquid look to it- that is the bet I can do.
|
BTW Based on the way the color appears to me, I'm glad I did not get the red leather with it. The blue interior of the Shinsen matches the blue tone of the gray well- I almost feel the red leather would clash.
YMMV: Different people perceive colors differently... it is a genetic thing. Not to mention tastes. What would be REALLY hot is blue inserts, or even the gray cloth inserts we apparently will not be getting as depicted thus far... :mad: |
That sounds great. I can't wait to see it at the Revitup here in Miami. I will take some closeup pics when I seee it
Thanks for the reply |
OOOHH I just realized its 3 am.

You have "retro" in your name but don't like the word fab? That's kind of off... I guess my using it is a result of coming off of my 13 hours of watching old British Gerry Anderson shows from the 1970s...

Don, is that your dog in your little pic thingy (forgot what its called :( )? cute little thing...:)
|
Yep, she is a mini-dachsund. Her manner is cute too! Check out this Quicktime:

DonG35Miata, it wouldn't be 'fab' then, it would be 'F.A.B.' Nerdilly yours: Lensman
