I love Competition Yellow Mica, but keeping a color like that clean can be difficult. First gen's look good in black, especially with a widebody kit.. he he Since mine is already white, when I repaint it, I'm going to keep it white but throw a maroon/deep red pearl into it, too.

As silver as you can get it.

Use the paint they use on the back of mirrors if you can...

Somehow I think that's illegal though.

Never stopped me before.

your car gamble? I REALLY like! how much did it cost? So far - OVERALL - Viper Blue - No stripes is the paint choice from all friends and family averaged in w the poll. It will cost me $1600 CDN. BUT this does not include under the hood (BUMMER - oh well) and Does include door jambs, etc.

That Ocean Blue is actually called Sea foam Green and is a very rare color for the 7. If anyone has this as an original color it's well worth keeping and I think also incredibly clean, heads always turn at that color. Of course anyone changing colors has to remember to do it properly and not make your 7 look half assed! it'll take bucks! You have to do door jams, under the hood, and many other little p.i.t.a. places.

"where can i find this color"...hotty

i'm color blind but i would say that is REAL similar to the MP3 blue that is available now. i think it is also the color of the new FD's in japan ( i've got a friend that is an AWSOME painter and we were talikng about painting my '94 that color blue and my '85 the aqua ice oppelescent from the toyota. i'd post pix of my cars, but don't know how to. i've got one while we were in the paint booth with one of my old cars(corvette yellow) and you can see the paint spraying out of the gun during the second coat of base.
