What color would you change your Eight to?
 
My car goes in the shop to get the bumper and rear quarter repainted tomorrow. I was thinking to myself if I had the cash I would change the color. What color would you change your Eight to? These are the colors I would want to do.

This Midnight blue

I always wanted a white sports car but for some reason I do not want white on the Eight for some reason.

That goldish silver color that Mazda had on their R3 show car back when the S2 came out (it was never used in production). I Don't have a picture at the moment.

As much as I love my PB, I currently have a Stormy Blue MS bumper, wing and diffuser, and that color has grown on me a lot!
It's actually the color I've wanted to paint all of my past RX's.

9krpmrx8 07-16-2012 11:19 AM

I would like to go Stormy Blue or CWP. But I am planning on a respray but the car will be done in VR again just to keep it simple. Doing a complete color change is tough.

monchie 07-16-2012 05:36 PM

I like bluish color. I have a blue Mazda 6 already. When I was searching for an rx8, I didn't find a blue rx8 on that time, and decided just to get a white one. Cannot wait to get and own an rx8, I guess.

I'm kinda with paimon on this one. The eight looks great in white. I don't even like white cars, but I've been feeling it lately too.

If my 8 could suddenly transform into my dream 2002 Lotus Esprit, it would get Lambo orange :)

EightCostsMoney 07-17-2012 09:57 AM

I change my mind. I would paint her white or keep her red and put in red leather interior.

Full body paint jobs cost mad money, especially if you do a color change assuming it's done right.

bse50 07-17-2012 02:31 PM

Classic Red. It's cheap and easy to respray if you scratch it lol.

bose 07-17-2012 03:28 PM

Brown.

Yes! major win! That color would look great on an 8. I know that F14 back there well... it was part of my sister squadron on my last cruise, VF-31 Tomcatters showbird.

EightCostsMoney 07-18-2012 07:10 AM

F-14 is my favorite fighter of all time next to the P-51 Mustang.

Nissan Skyline Midnight Purple.

That reminds me of the Mustang Cobra Mytstic Chrome color.

I guess if you are going to change the color of your car, you might as well go all out!

I agree about the f-14. The vertical stabs were painted red with Felix the cat for the last westpac in 2005 on the John c. Stennis CVN-74. I was on that cruise with Vf-31. Now known as VFA-31

Porsche Mahogany Metallic.

Devil Doge 06-27-2015 10:27 PM

I honestly want a satin OD green with metal flake. The only problem is I don't want to give up my Lightning Yellow and I don't really want to wrap it either.

I have a LY also, I wouldn't change the color, but some mica or metalflake would be nice.

Hesselrode added pearl/metal flake. From pics, it looks good. Hard to tell tho, since I haven't seen it person

Yeah, he called it 'LY Pearl' I think.
Pics can't really show it well.
Idk why Mazda didn't use the mica for LY.
IIRC, I think the Brilliant Black is the only other one without it.

Devil Doge 06-28-2015 09:58 PM

I don't know either, sometimes manufacturers decide to go with just glossy colors rather than getting fancy. I guess it would save a little in the paint department, but I don't see it really saving much for them in the long run.

Trancemission 08-22-2015 11:46 PM

tbh I want a light blue... but my seats are yellow.... so im keeping it yellow lol

Andrew5190 10-07-2015 08:34 AM

I have a BB. I love the color...until I wash it and see EVERY SINGLE LITTLE IMPERFECTION! :wallbash:

Honestly think I'd want either WBM or maybe LeMans Blue. I've also been drawn to Ford's Deep Impact Blue.

Maybe I'll get it done one day. Black is my favorite car color, but God it's a bitch to maintain.

Amen. I'm about to give up and just plastidip it.

Your car, do what you want, but I'd rather it be chipped than dipped any day of the week.
