Every paint job even black and a regular white have other colors added into them, they are never just straight black or straight white. To get a blue that color i wouldnt be surprised if there are six colors or so in it, plus the mica. I used to work in body shops for a while so i have a pretty good idea of how this works. All i know is any tri coat (pearl) car is gonna cost more when you buy it and more if you ever scratch it.

Hey Bigfur, I wasn't by no means bashing the Blue. I to think it looks great on the Mazda3 sport and in fact if I went with the sport that would of been my paint chioce. I was wondering if anyone else has the Goodyear eagle GS-A tires on there Mazda3s. I have found them kinda noise on the highway.

Our car came with these tires, and unfortunately they are noisy especially as they age. I have experience with them on another vehicle I own, and to put it kindly there are better alternatives out there.

very true; my nighthawk black civic had blue sparkles in it!
But they didn't charge me extra at all, in fact, many of honda's colors are pearls and there is no extra charge.
I think the reason the 3 gets charged for the white is because it is a pearlescent; the same kind of white that goes on more expensive cadillacs and other luxury cars, it kinda changes colors under different light, its not a regular paint with other colors just mixed in to achieve the color.

No wonder why you can't find any Civic's up there, becuase they all got lost in the pot holes. JK Funny!!!
