^ well yes original faded VR for sure.....but just two weeks ago i had a VR repaint (really nice paint job) parked next to the VIPER red fd in the picture and it really really had a pink look to it. and thats not the only time ive seen that. i guess part of it has to with what your comparing it to.

I really think viper red looks cheesy, VR pink??..purple blue hue=deep red (not pink). It looks very classy, for those who kept the original rx7 brochure you can see how nice a VR looks with fresh paint.

Quick question guys, the owner of the bodyshop has explained to me that it's not good to do the re-paint in cold weather (20 degrees). He claims most bodyshops know this. I know he has alot of work and I'm wondering if he just needs some more time. What do you guys think?

There is no such thing as 'mazda red.'
FDs were given shitty paint jobs from the factory, that tended to chip and fade over time.
My FD was given a show car quality paint job, with german Spies Hecker vintage red paint and clear coat. One does not equal the other, I guess is what I am trying to say
