You have picked blue for exactly the same reason I want to do mine blue. A 76 doesn't have the chrome bumpers but with the mirrors wheels and I will be putting side pipes on it,I just think it will look great. The mazda blue, top choice it has a nice mix of metalic, My wife has a red RX8 the metalic is the same across the colors. To get the code I would go to a mazda dealer and lift the bonnet. They are helpful if they think your going to buy one.

You will find my posts under Restoration, as that's what i'm doing.

"Restoration" is for Vettes that are fairly standard.  Colour changes are not an issue.

"Modifications" is for cars that are not.  Take my beast as an example.  It's any thing but standard under the hood but on the outside and inside she is fairly standard apart from colour.  So I put her in modified

Don't worry to much.  If ya get it wrong I'll move it.
