Phatmiata

So I have these 2 Miatas sitting here and I want to repaint one of them, probably the 95 Merlot, sacrilegious right? :teehee:
Well it has some clear coat fading so it could use a respray anyhow, but im still leaning HEAVY on an alternate color because the next car will be flared. It can be any color, I have all three interior colors available so matching the interior to a nice exterior would not be that hard of a task. The hard part is finding the "right" exterior color that I will be happy with.
So if you guys don't mind, if you have seen any nice paint colors (READ: photos of cars) where the paint would look good on a Miata please post them up here for ideas! (not looking for repainted Miatas, but that's welcome too) I know a few other guys that are looking to repaint their Miatas soon too so maybe we can all help each other out. :domo:
If you have the paint's Name that would help us all out too!
