> [@Adictd2b00st](#): > > its a '94 rx7, just do a google. 99% of them were montego blue anyways 😛 ☹ haha oh werd :tup: I like that color… you should just have the paint treated IMHO if it’s in good shape (wetsanded possibly respray). Make that shit look about 10 feet deep :tup: like a mirror (maybe add a little accent color too… just like a few shades off to the mirror’s/skirts/whatever) ---

> [@91MR2](#): > > Montego blue all day…don’t change color…waste of money/value… I totally agree^ and complete resprays always show somewhere unless you take every single nut and bolt off the car and do it right. I dont care for CYMs that are not real CYMs since they were so limited. Jeller ---

So I think i will keep the color, a good buffing and maybe a re-clear will do fine. As far as a painter, i still have to find one because of the BS dent on the front fender. I bought a new fender but its just primer right now. Any ideas on a good painter locally?? ---

keep the blue, it will just end up cleaner if it matches the door jams and the engine bay and such, if you change the color it will take away from the overall hottness of the car IMO.
