Hi Dave, It was called Copper Red Mica

Try this link - http://www.miata.net/gallery/concepts.html#colors

Planning to change my front number plate holder to the MX5plus version but i know that some damage has already been done by people who obviously need rear parking senors.

Is Evolution Orange Mica Racing Orange (18K) the same as Evo Gold for my NB8A?

Any good paint shop near Kingsford/Randwick that people can recommend so that I can get a little container's worth?

badbong, check the paint code, should be on the plaque in your engine bay

Yes

33J was a US only color on the 2nd generation SEs, looks the schizzle too

and some more here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2287695 actually pages of them

iirc it was different. lava orange vs evo gold

18K = Evo Gold/Evo Orange/Racing Orange

33J = Lava Orange or Chili Orange which was only ever available on an SE and also only in the US per my post above, more specifically built between August and December 2004

So if Badbong has a car that has paint code of 33J then:

a) he lives in the US and drives an SE
or
b) he lives in the US and drives an SE

otherwise he drives a right hand drive Evolution Gold NB8A built between 1998-2000/2001 with paint code 18K.
When the NB8B was released, the Evolution Gold was dropped and replaced with Crystal Blue, paint code 23C.

woops sorry spy, i misread your post
