    Default new paint for the rx7

    well i have spent the entire last week helping a buddie do all necisary body work to get the car ready for paint and we sprayed it friday night. we did primer/ sealer/ 2 coats of base/ 3 coats of clear. we changed it from montigo blue to phantom blue mica. it realy is a awsome color in person but i cant get my camera to get all of the diffrent colors. let me know what ya think.

    I don't think the camera captured the difference between the two colors.

    Props for keeping it an oem mazda color though

    The props get negated when you look under the hood, though. Later, QD.

    I suppose so. It's an ok car. The color for this car isn't suited (in my opinion) to the style car.. I honestly hate to be "Mr. Grouchy" but I can't say anything nice about it. I do like the dash and inside front end, though.

    BUT, as long as the owner likes it, fuck what I think, yes? Later, QD.

    I think you need to build some "t's" for your Buill nol Boughl sticker.

    Thank you for not getting upset. I pretty much came back to delete my reply because I thought it may come across as too harsh. I appreciate you taking my comments as just my opinions.

    +150 for you! Later, QD.

    Looks good, but the pics def don't do it any justice. I think it needs an R1 lip on it, they are a cheap upgrade that makes the front end look a lot better.


    So, what's it run?
