Get some better wheels first. I'm a fan of any kind of white though.

vw black magic silver? or pearl?
black is nice.
lexus white will be the next choice.
do you have a hardtop?
you could borrow mine to see what it'd look like freshly painted. Mine has some paint chips. lol

I would personally paint it Lexus Mica Frost White. It's a great color, just get a hardtop before you paint and wheels. They are all great colors so you cant go wrong.

I love the lexus white but I dont see too much purple and it might look nice on a miata. I loved the old mitsu magenta(spl?) or purple or whatever that was.

Sorry guys will get better pics as soon as I get on the laptop, and I already have wheels in mind going with the classic rms snowflakes, fifteen52 will hook me up with a set of 16x8or 9 I forget how wide, but yeah the vw black is the pearl that was my fault as well, any opinions are greatly appreciated!

white is nice, but most people really notice a nice blue or off color
if you want a nice color and dont care if you blend in go with the lexus white, if you want something different go with a really nice blue/purple

Couldn't agree with you more, I know hands down that car would look fantastic in white but I like those occasional off-colors once in a while, in my greeting thread there's pics of my old car, 1986 Mercedes 300e, full suspenion upgrade a little done to the motor, and a nice off-color purple/blue, I know what you mean :)

i know its not one of the choices but i'm gonna throw it out there anyway.
white diamond pearl (cadillac, buick etc.) and your painter will thank you. This is one of the easier whites to wet sand. (at least IMO)

Im into odd colors so i say Midnight Purple!
Im looking to buy an older Impreza and i love some of those weird colors they made, like Carribean Green.

Championship White from the ITR if you do white!
Also keep in mind you don't want the paint color fancier then the car itself.

im bias to the lexus white as thats the color my car was. if you pick that color make sure its the Glacier Frost Mica color. IMO that is their best color. Nice white paint with blue pearl, really pops in the sun.
heres an up close pic of the color

Yeah the glacier is what I was talking about, I'd love to mix a tad of gold in there as well, would look gorgeous!
