Identifying a paint color for a paintjob

Hi guys, I saw this 8 on the forums a few days ago and I really liked its purple paintjob! I am getting a full body paint job in a few days and I really want to have the same exact color as this 8. However, I need help identifying this color and color code, so can anyone on the forums help me identify this purple paint?

I really don't think there is a color code for that. I would do a black base coat with a red pearl (4 drops per gallon of unthinned base) and a hint of gold pearl (1 drop per gallon of unthinned base) over it and then clear coat. You will have the same color.

that's not a Mazda color so it would be tough for us to know the paint code.
if you want a slightly darker version, look into the Black Cherry Mica used by Mazda for the 2005 'Shinka' edition.

Either that or find a good body shop that does custom work, show them those pictures and let them figure it out.

That wing on that car.... painful. Why do I get a feeling it's a stock engine too?

( meant purple one, the red one above this post looks not bad, could be the chick though ;p)

aren't MOST of our engines stock?
unless you're sporting custom seals or lightened rotors. Or maybe some new camshafts?
