Color chip | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

OK, who can help me here? I've selected a color, finally, and will be painting or having the car painted within the next month or so but I'm having trouble getting a paint chip. The color's from a 2001 Miata.

I just emailed the President of the San Diego Miata Club and I've tried the local Mazda dealerships but they can't spare a chip and the local paint matching places don't want to give me a chip as they're not getting the business.

Anyone got any connections or suggestions?

Bert,

I had the same problem getting my sample (Zermatt Silver--a Porsche/Audi color from the mid 80's). I was able to get a 1986 brochure for the 944, which had color samples, on eBay. I'd start there.
