"Orange" SVX on ebay?

This is cool, a 92 SVX listed as Red on eBay. But it looks pretty orange-ish to me, it must be a repaint, I don't think I ever saw one painted this color before. Not bad.

I think it's a combination of weird lighting and a cheap digital camera. The door jambs do look red in one picture.

Sunset Orange Metallic off a 4th gen TA or that burnt orange off a 350Z would be rocksome.

That leather looks fricken NICE in a couple of those pics... Looks like they had them recovered.

Well yeah, it's a repaint, the 92s didn't come in red. Unless they got the year wrong or something.

This picture here quite clearly shows that it's a repaint. You can see the overspray on the headliner of the sunroof.

And one missing and one drooping visor.

I think that it is a true red colour (or color) - I mean unless the car was gutted, why would you paint the engine bay area the same colour (interior spare wheel area also).

What sort of cost to do a decent paint job in USA?.

I know that in NZ you would spend approx NZ$5,000 (that is assuming you do most of the donkey work for the panel & paint shop.

To me that looks like an orange. if i remember right.... on car domain there is an nice looking orange XT as well as an similar coloured SVX. and the orange looked about the same.

its original colour is silver. look at the engine bay pics as well as the vin number

eh, i don't much care for the color. it looks like a $400 macco job, which means they combined the clear coat with the paint instead of doing seperate sprays, and it will fade rapidly. I wouldn't go near it without inspecting it for bubbling and such to see that the paint isn't bubbling. I've seen quite a few macco jobs where the sand job was less than desirable.
