what is nice colour for the rx-8
 

I wanted to repaint my rx-8 and just wondering if you guys have any good idea.
For my repaint

what color is it now? I've always been partial to exotic colors like yellow and orange and certain shades of green

audi back in 2000-2001 i believe used a special order color "pelican blue" on their 1.8ts the color in person is amazing if u search online u can see its a nice color but seeing it in person is completely different

thats a NICE color...now all you gotta do is find the color code for it.

WWP is the best color for the 8 ;)

wwp is that white winter pearl ? it is a nice colour but i wanted something that factory rx8 don't come in.
but thanks to the very nice Japanese lexus dealer i got the color code for the cool color

wwp is best! lol

if u want something different from factory, get matte black/flat black =]

+1. I'd love to see someone do that. It would look UBER hot. You'll earn lots of points on the forum if you do this. Guaranteed!

you guys think that i should do it in mat black ?

lightning yellow. :)

I would so love to do mine in matt black, with some 19" torq thrust II's as well, throw in some rotary themed pinstripes or some type of old school flame job and call it done. ;) :D: If I keep my car long enough, I'm totally going to do this, totally make it a hot rod complete with a blower poking out the hood and some type of old school carburated motor just to piss off all the purists :lol:

LEXUS color FTW

the lexus blue or that flat black is what your should shoot for, the lexus blue might look better though imo

flat black mmmm .

go with the everyday colors really red, basic black, stay away from the unique colors

LEXUS=fkn honda

didnt you paint your car camo not to long ago?

yea i did i am changing again

LEXUS=fkn honda ??
i am trying to be original

lexus is toyota jackass. if youre gonna pretend to be smart, at least google shit before you embarrass yourself.

that lexus blue is AMAZING in person. saw it at the NYIAS

oh yea i haven't seen the real thing since i live in new zealand and they haven't got the car in the country yet, well they mite have a demo car or something.
i mite get the paint mixed up ay

I always loved the color that came on the 05 SP23 Mazda 3, Carbon Gray Mica, looks amazing!! Wish I could have got my 8 in that color

That's a nice lookin' blue.

The only thing I'd say is that I'd stick with metallic colors. If you want something that will stand out in a pack of 8's you might want to look for a dark, metallic orange. Not sure I've seen that on any 8s but it's a pretty slick color on some other cars (Caddy CTS has a good color).

The blue is good and a carbon metallic gray would be my choice (aside from my Nordic Green Mica! :)) but I like a subtle look instead of a 'arrest me for doing 10 over!' color.

Something like this:

My, a college educated boy, not a whit of wit. lmao

Should have made it easier to understand for the slow learners. If it's not a mazda rx8, it's a honda

Found a good pic of an Orange 8:

is that bodykit on the orange 8 mazdaspeed or feed?

That's Auto Craft's 8 so I'm assuming it's their kit.

There's a few more shots of the orange on that site but unless you can read japanese it's gonna be tough to follow. :)

Also I just stumbled across something else that made it sound like the RS for the '09s might come in a dark orange.

Ah. Here's a thread on it. The "Frying Horse" body kit. :)

I would do semi-gloss flat black. Otherwise it looks like a DIY job.

flat black or matte black will look good until some one breathes on it......you will get tiny scratches all over it and after a short time it will look like turd......i know a local guy who was doing thit partially on his car but changed his mind mid paint......personally i like the lambo orange or some form of orange would look sick

The blue is nice, but a lil flashy.

mine is BB soI think "FB/MB" would be BEST!
What about Green Chalk Board Paint... diferent "graphics" every day

Post some previous pics of your car please.
what wheels you rockin'??

I still think the olive green on Nissan Xterra's is sick too.

thanx bro its a clean bodykit....too bad it has a funny name haha....those japanese people :lol2:

matte black is a great color. My friend tried to photoshop a pic for me that ended up looking like a semi-gloss matte black paint and it looked pretty nice:

lighting yellow is good, i love it

yellow is not me ay i now i am thinking of Stormy Blue Mica or the new blue from new rx-8 but i am not to sure what's called i have to serch it up.

you guys know any good blues ?? other then winning blue

Stormy blue is an awesome color. If you wanna go for a blue color id look at Lexus or BMW colors they have the nicest colors out there.

Ultrasonic Blue Metallic = sex

Montego Blue Metallic ,Monaco Blue Metallic looks nice thanks so much

I vote for the orange one.

lambo orange FTW. :)

any recommended orange or gold ?

go for the gold. ;) there already is an orange rx8.

but seriously flat black rx8s look sexy. i saw a pic one with an autobahn kit. it was ridiculously hot. if i ever could choose my rx8 color it'd be either winning blue or flat black.

Dammit! Lightning Yellow is the best!

burnt orange would look hot!!!
Or Purple...dont laff..have u ever seen a purple rx8? nuff said!

the Lexus IS-F blue is my pick, go for it. its gonna look damn nice
