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.

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

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.

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.

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:

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.
Indigo Blue Metallic:
Ultrasonic Blue Metallic
Montego Blue Metallic
Monaco Blue Metallic
