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!

I think the hot chocolate is awesome, also the bright purple, mazda green (lol) and slate grey. But you have to pull it off with a tan interior. So I would say go with something classy like the grey. OR do the flat Olive.

There's some good browns from 80's Porsches and Audi's Nimbus Grey is also really nice.

yeah that gulf blue looks like a bad ass color for an older, classy looking car. i think it would look great on a miata
