i'm staying with white on my car, but i'm going to go with a brighter white. bright bright WHITE, champion white! ALTHOUGH, my favorite colour on the 1st gens is GUNMETAL / charcoal gray. if i could afford it, i would change mine to that. i simply love it.

Maya Gold is the greatest color conceived by Mazda, or any other car manufacturer.

Also known as Butabi Gold.



I purchased paint at www.paintscratch.com for my touch-up paint and bumpers. The color, along with clear coat, were dead on.

lol....i say go with black or charcoal grey....but without a clear coat...that clear coatless paint job absorbs the laser speed detectors the popos use....and they don't get any readings!
