left my 94 silver car down to paint shop to get the rear panel resprayed,but thinking of getting a full respray. should i got it sprayed the same colour. or go for a complete new colour and should i keep to orignal mk1 colour .any thoughts and how do i justify it to the other half

any pics? What colour were you thinking?

Hello John
I know your lovely car, I'd keep it the same colour because changing it would mean the door stops ,engine bay, boot etc would need to be done ......lots of work!
Good luck with it

which colour are you thinking John?

im here studying the mazda colour chart with hundreds of colours , im torn between some of the grey or blues .i thought i knew what i wanted until i looked at the charts. brian i know what you mean about the boot and engine bay but as i dont ever intend selling i think i could live with that

Hi johnv
If your going grey it has to be titanium grey from the mk2.5 for me!

That titanium grey sounds good to me, maybe with dark grey wheels. Also it wouldn't look that different alongside the silver but make sure you still do the door shuts and maybe the boot in the grey not that difficult to do and looks the part ,engine bay not as important .
Good luck with the deciding !

Any chance you could send that indication my way also please? Thinking of a respray myself but have no idea of cost if I were to have it done professionally.
