Some interesting paintjobs I've found!

Post by MrMazda92 »

I love this first one, and am desperately wanting the color code, or at least the name of the color!:

I really like the top one... The second one is also pretty mad - looks sweet with the angry-eye bonnet, etc... Best paintjob involving green I've ever seen, I think...

Looks like a satin blue.


First one is nice, rest are kinda ugly IMO, especially the clown car.

Well, if you guys help me pin down the exact color, I may be able to find an example around town to eyeball in person... if I like it as much as I do on a monitor, I'm set.

Well, as much as I've never liked 2 tone schemes for the mx-3, and as much as I don't like green, I have to admit the second one is, by far, my favorite. :shrug:

mitmaks,
I haven't even been able to find the cardomain that I originally spotted that on :( It was a google image search, which I haven't been able to duplicate the results of...

Inodoro,
I like the green, but I can't get past the body kit and the Eclipse spoiler...

I don't like them either, and it's not like I'm in love with that green, but that color combination does work for me, and, to my surprise, it looks really good on the 3. I would've never thought a 2 tone paintjob would look good on a car that round... :shrug:

About the first picture, I may be blind (well, actually, I am, pretty much), but to me it looks like the OEM Mazda blue, with a few stickers and some bad lighting.

Thanks guys!!

Nd4Spd, what did you search, out of curiosity?! I tried every combination of "Mx3, MX-3, blue, custom paint" and more, to no avail -.-

Mike, I actually like that too... It's the first front end I like those headlights on!

I think it is OEM blue... I really like that darker look it has in the image I found first though. It suits the car damn well...

I should keep it a secret since it took me many years to figure out how to find a CarDomain page from an image search/link. Looking back now it's so easy, but here's the trick.
