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.

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.

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/

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 09:10 AM

BRG. Or maybe Road Cone Orange.

OrbitalEllipses 04-08-2013 11:11 AM

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

NorseLegend 04-08-2013 11:15 AM

Pink. HOT pink.

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