Graphite Grey Metallic

Creek Blue Mica

Candy Blue

I cant decide, i'm finally getting my next MX-3 its currently black and needs a new paint job. I like all 3 but cant really decide its a tough choice. If it helps the MX-3 that i have my deposit on right now has a broke front bumper and i'm going to replace it with a mazda speed front bumper with mazda speed side skirts.

do it in mazda metallic black(factory on older 323 gt, dunno what else). I don't think I've seen a mx-3 in that color yet, so it would definatly be different. Either that or the candy blue. I personally think the greys have been overdone

theres nothing wrong with black mx3, black mx3's look nice when done, agressive and paint is cheap compared to candy or any red or silver/goldish colors

i like either of the blue's you displayed in your pictures... personally though, if i HAD to make my decision now, i'd go for the candy blue... that color is sooo sweet

Unless you plan on pulling engine out to paint the engine bay, removing hatch, hood and sunroof to paint all of those exposed painted areas, I'd stick with oem colour. It might cost you less too.
Just my 2 pennies.

Candy blue is a nice color, but that color has been over done as well. I would go with black.

i personally think that black is overdone (note the number of people urging said color) though that's just me. personally, i plan to go with a blue that's just a couple shades darker than the stock laguna blue that my car is currently painted, though that candy blue is nice (but candy=$$$) ah well, it's your car, i'm sure it'll look good whatever you go with (to a point) black is definately a good color for our car.
