What color would you paint a miata?
 
So me and my friend are thinking of tearing apart a old 1990 miata he has had sitting in his yard for years. He wants to throw a hardtop and fender flares/widebody and repaint along with some deep dish wheels.

What color would you paint such a car? Im voting black so far.

Yellow. First gen Miatas look awesome in yellow.

dem00n 04-07-2013 08:52 PM

Light blue.

I find that light colors suit the Miata better since the curves of the car are very soft and mellow.

If I owned one, I'd want to disguise it as an MG Midget so I'd go either with British Racing Green

or

MG red

Both would need the offset racing strip like this

I've always been a fan of this color on miatas.

I've owned 5 in the past 20 years with all different colors and my favorite color is still from my 1992 -- Blue.

Orange.

fatoni 04-08-2013 12:29 AM

brg or mariner blue are probably the coolest colors. what was the original color? thats probably what you should paint it since it look best that way. my current miata is red and i hate it.

if you want it orange, it better be fast http://949racing.blogspot.com/

n2oinferno 04-08-2013 08:07 AM

I'd go with the original color, unless he's stripping the whole thing down so it doesn't have stray color in the engine bay, door jambs, etc.

MVJ1975 04-08-2013 08:10 AM

BRG. Or maybe Road Cone Orange.

OrbitalEllipses 04-08-2013 10:11 AM

Red. So it can look like every other Miata ever!

NorseLegend 04-08-2013 10:15 AM

Pink. HOT pink.

If I was going to rock a miata this is how I would do it.

norsamerican 04-08-2013 11:39 AM

Brown

Hot pink, nothing else, without a doubt, no question, no alternative.

I hate green on cars, but I think the Miata is one of the few that can pull it off:

Yea, I only like it on small cars like the MG or Miata, although we did own a green Lumina LTZ that I thought the color looked good on.

Not black! you want to bee seen by other drivers so u don't get crushed.
Black is the hardest color to keep looking clean.
