    Opinions on what color to paint my protege?

    Well, just what the title says. It looks like I'm going to have the bodywork done soon so I could always use some opinions on color. I like bright vivid colors. My gtx is painted yellow so I'm probably gonna steer away from another yellow car. I'm a fan of using a paint color off any mazda, but any color opinion is cool. I was kinda thinking the blue off the mp3's. What do you think? Thanks for the help. later.

    Oh and btw, its a 90 4wd protege.

    what color is it now? what kind of paint are you going to have sprayed on it? going to do it yourself? one stage? multiple step?

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

      laser blue is a bitch to keep nice looking.

      if your looking at that shade of blue and you want an "oem color" I'd go with scoob ralley blue.

      its not oem mazda but its still oem.

        Its the factory maroon color. I'm not a fan of that color. It's going to be done by a professional body shop, its going to be professional paint, I don't know what kind he uses, I will ask though. I know when he painted my gtx he did like 3-4 coats with 1-2 clear coat layers. I cant remember exactly.

        I'll probably do the interior myself with just a flat black, but he is going to do the door jams, engine bay, etc.

        Anymore ideas on color?

          Ok thanks for the info. I was figuring any bright blue was going to be a pita to keep clean. Really any bright color will be. Maybe the gun metal silver off the evo mr ? Ive always liked that color.

            Saab and Porsche make some really cool colors. What's your favorite color? Do you want pearl in it? Flakes? Bright? Dull?

              What about the mint green the 25th anniversary 323s come with? I love the colour personally.

                Suub Blue is nice. I like champion white from hondas its whiter than paper :D
                I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
