Its damn hard finding them...

Im almost dead sure im going with the infini IV paint

How do you find this stuff on yahoo auctions? I cant find **** on there.

 

You must have mad mazda nihongo skills. =P Nah, it's easy. You just need to download a Japanese text support package from microsoft for windows, then search for "anfini" on the yahoo auction site. They're not that hard to come by, I see a set going every couple of weeks. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be sharing this until I get MY set! haha

I want to paint my car Shade Green so bad... but the current paint is so nice that I just can't justify it. D'oh!

The color was available here, on some proteges. I didnt think thts what the color was called here though.

 

Lol, I know, I'm the one that found it.

It's Nobel Green Pearl Clearcoat, paint code VQ. Found on the the 1995 Proteges and 929s.

i'm not referring to the color history book which I also have...this is an RX-7 history book with articles from mags...what i was speaking of came right out of a road and track article I believe.

 

Lol, ok, I heard "RX-7 history" and assumed the worst. =P Your book sounds interesting, what's the ISBN?

Steve

 

Hah, I never thought id own a green car.

 

Mazda RX-7 Gold Portfolio, 1978-1991

Brooklands Books
Compiled by R.M. Clark

ISBN 1-85520-333-2

I also have a copy of the original article in a old Road and Track

 

Here is bad scan of it (my new scanner should be here tuesday)





And remember the Infini IV was the first Mazda to use the Torsen LSD.

 

does anybody have a good picture of the infini four paint? I have been thinking of it for some time... I just want to see if that is what I want! is it close to black or green?

 

Its very close to black, with a hint of green. Ill dig up a picture.

 

Heres a pretty common picture.

 

damn if anybody can find me a paint code I would be super apreciative!

Thanks Tony! where did you find that picture?

 

Searched for "anfini" found nothing

BTW, makes me happy my paint is shitty!

 

already posted in the thread at least once:

I saw that... but the paint code would have to be a number then one letter! I have never seen a paint code with two letters like that! is that here in north america or else where! that is what I was asking... sorry should have reworded.

 

All Mazda paint codes are two digit codes.

for example
Artic Silver Metallic = J5
Tornado Silver Metallic = K8
Brilliant Black = PZ
Sunrise Red = RH
Crystal White = UC
Dover White = WU
Noble White =WY
Satin Gold Metallic =1A
Claret Metallic = 2H
Royal Maroon Metallic =3A
Sapphire Blue Metallic = 5A
True Red = NP

Etc

I have always been able to go into any body shop or paint store that has Automotive paints and get a color based on the two digit code.

Perhaps you are confusing that with some domestic car PPG paint codes?

 

the new mazda protoge 3
lazer blue 24A,
Rx-7 Velvet Red 26R
etc.

sorry I was misinformed but not entirely wrong...

Thanks Icemark!

 

yes I was posting pre-00 paint codes

 

Jreynish, do a search on "infini" and color or paint, and my user name, you'll find at least two threads, both have pics in 'em. =)

Steve

 

Click the link in my sig, my car's the same colour.

 

hey I noticed that you have the Infini IV center consol knee brace as well, or was that an option on some of the Jspecs?

 

I honestly don't know, but I doubt it's stock. I think it was fitted by a previous owner in Japan, because it's not mounted in a very "factory" manner.

 

Mtn, you must tell me more Yahoo Auction secrets

 

anyone interested in infini/anfini/enfini seats, the black suede ones in the post earlier? I have a couple sets in japan and can have them shipped over if someone really wants them. I have them in my car and love them yes they are old but if you have been to japan or seen many of the fc's in Japan you would know that most people replace there stock seats wrather quickly with bucket seats either Bride or Recarro's so really they are all still in excellent condition. Price has not been decided for a pair of them but should be around 1000 for two seats with rails.
