Thanks Phil for the prompt response. I will have one of my guy pals help me find this paint at an autobody store if not then I will go to a Mazda Dealership and refer the brilliant black code that was mentioned above.

Thanks again for your help. You da man!

Kim you could just buy a bottle of touch up paint from the dealership. Just be careful putting it on. Read up on fixing nicks and scratches in the show and shine section of the forum.

when your talking black don't waste the money on touch up from the dealership, you can either go to an auto parts store and get a bottle of almost any black as that code PZ is just a straight black so any straight black touch up will work. or you could swing by your local auto body shop or recon shop and they would do it for you right on the spot for pennies or the price you would pay for a bottle to do it yourself

Agree with commensts above, for 2K my suggestion would be,
AccessPort $700 MMs flashes(contact him about the $$$)
And suspension mods, RB sway bars - $400 front and rear
and some shock and springs...
or you can go for a mid-range set of coilovers for around $1K-$1400
what ever you do there are planty of people with the knowledge and DIY sections are great...
and always research research research......
good luck, and have fun...

LMFAO!!! Phil you are tooo much!!!

I got another question for you..... Is midgrade gas good or bad for your car?
I know that it may sound stupid, but my car is acting up lately. I even got a transmission fluid flushed last week becuase of the performance of my car. Seems like the performance is not as good as it was when I first bought my car. Like the pickup feels slower.

Any suggestions on the gas that is good for your car and any suggestions on what I should look into to see if my car is sick or not? Lol

Thanks,
~ Kim

Thank you guys for the suggestions about retouching my car with paint. Just sucks becuase black is a BITCH to keep clean and everything shows. I had a 1997white BMW Z-3 before my RX-8 and between the two colors, Black is the worst color but dammmmmmmm does it look hot when its clean and bling-blinging!

Nope.

PZ (A3F) is 1/300 white.
It is actually a very dark gray.
The PZ touch-up paint does tend to be too light, though.
