I think the colour will make you stand out in traffic which should be a good thing. I like it but wouldn't copy you if that makes sense.
Good on you for being different.

Cheers

Yer ,not a members car yet ..but will be .. I found it last week on gumtree and it was one of those mx5 ,s you see with all the colour flaking off the Mazda primer( there was a paint fault around 1990 with electro static primer )... So I knew this was a good original car.
I got a rush of blood and BINGO it's orange ,could of done it the original silver but thought it would be ok orange ..
I took it out the booth and I now really dig the colour..
I will slam it down now and put some deep dish retro rims on it ,cruise around in it for few months ,then pass it on to someone who wants a car already done
As I don't think I can add another car to the herd !i will try but don't count on it ,if you know what I mean

With the right amount of black, an orange mx5 looks awesome. Just take a look at the MX5 Super 20,

im glad people voted Yes. The 1991 i just bought is orange! Though as a lot of silver/chrome trim. Going to change all that to black - as well as a black hard top. I nicknamed her Tigger after winnie the pooh character

I vote yes to orange, but no the the black wheels, I just can't come to grips with black wheels. My other car is a yellow xr6 turbo. I now love the bright colours.

I'm a mopar fan from way back so adore hemi orange and associate it with cool cars.

Ford focus electric orange would be my pick if going orange on a mx5. Same as my mini.

I always hated black wheels too but now I have a set they have certainly grown on me.

Good work on the spray job too!!!

Yep thanks for the comments ,, but after 28 years and about roughly 70 odd mx5 repaints . I think I have finally got the hang of it .i still enjoy it ,but luckily I have a lot of variety now with the carbon bikes ,motorbikes and drone planes and boats ...
So that keeps it interesting !
And with the downturn in the economy I am happy to remain busy and have constant flow of work
