Yep , that's what I think , on most of the repaints I do , I do a dark gun metal or black around the windscreen frame to make them look newer ,,, I got this one last week as a run down silver , paint peeling , slight hale damage banger ,..and for a laugh I did it that orange ,, but after it was finished I dig the orange big time :)

I love orange MX5s, if I was gonna repaint an mx5 it would be orange, but prolly a slightly darker tone than this. But still vivid.

I can't get past the fact that it reminds me of "taxi-orange" though so I had to vote No but if you do go with orange, I concur with FFG (yes, we can agree on some things):

I'd go yellow/black, but the Orange/black theme is a close second.
Orange really suits the personality of the car.

You should have had a 'not sure' option, as that's where I sit. Looks good now but I think in a few months you'd get sick of it.

Where was this painted?
Looks like a good job.
How much did it cost?

A yes from me.

Given that Orange was one of the trial colours for the original model how can you not love it?

Owned an orange/black Rallye Pack Escort in the late 70's and years later an orange/black HQ Monaro ...

A big YES from me.
