Blaze Red vs. Mighty Grey Metallic (anyone got MX3 pics)

Post by Juans_93_MX3 »

This is a pic of my car a month or two after it was painted last time.

So I am repainting my car because the clear coat started peeling off and am looking into ether Blaze Red or Mighty Grey Metallic. Both would be Single Stage jobs.

Or

What do you guys think?
75% percent chance I am going Blaze Red. I love the color black but it gets dirty way too fast. But than again, when black gets dirty... its not like you can tell from far away. Than again, SWIRL MARKS are a b----!
I dont know if Mighty Grey Metallic will get dirty as fast as black does...

the blaze red was a nice color.....until your bumpers and mirrors start to fade. but than again the paint is how old. but if you repaint it blaze red again put some pearl in it or some metallic flake it might look pretty cool. or just do the grey metllic.

-1 on black. Annoying as hell to take care of. It is nice when it's clean.. but its a pain to maintain that. I think the grey would look nice, red is nice too, but there is already red mx's around. Don't see any mighty greys around

My first MX-3 was silver and I had this plan to paint it this really dark charcoal grey. Mighty Grey is a little lighter than I would go...but it's pretty wicked.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
