Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on getting a nice car!
I think you should do dark gunmetal grey. Mix .33 black with .66 gunmetal.

P.S, Do the rims, too, and polish the rim lips.

Yes, welcome!
If you do change the color, I'd go with jesse's idea.
Or...you could keep it black to honor kirkyboy!
Either way, you got yourself a nice car!

stay with black... in my opinion it makes the mx3 look timeless like it could be on the mazda lot still today. i really like those taillights, are they the aztecas?

stick with black...black is for sure the sexiest MX-3 color. If the body is really straight go glossy, if not I think satin semi gloss looks great and hides a lot.

but does anyone has suggestion on a different shade of black that you really like...something like metallic black or add a certain pearl in it or anything?
