Dynamic New Premium Color Available for the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF

Mazda Motor Corporation recently announced that the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF will be available in its newest premium color, Machine Gray. The sleek and beautiful Machine Gray is Mazda’s second premium color paint, and it will be available this spring for several Mazda models. Machine Gray follows the incredibly successful introduction of Soul Red.

Complementary Color

Soul Red is the epitome of Mazda’s underlying design perspective, KODO – Soul of Motion, and the new Machine Gray paint stays true to the same KODO vision. Mazda defines KODO as the moment where energy becomes motion, and the company’s design stylistically supports KODO in every way, from dynamic lines and elegant details, to vehicle accents and paint colors. Machine Gray was designed to complement the KODO philosophy, and it achieves that well by using its color and finish to accentuate the design lines of the body. The color itself is powerful and meant to express beauty, precision, and depth through reflection and light. Machine Gray is a stunningly beautiful choice.

Incomparable Finish

Machine Gray possesses a polished, high-density finish typically seen only on vehicles that have been painstakingly hand-painted, such as concept cars. This process requires a specialized coating containing very thin aluminum flakes that reflect light in a beautiful and unique way, creating a strong contrast between shadow and light. Mazda’s groundbreaking TAKUMINURI technology achieves the same level of quality that you see in the handcrafted finish, but it was developed for a mass production process. Originally created for Soul Red, TAKUMINURI requires three coats – color, reflective, and clear painting – performed in an automated process. The precise application, drying process, and black pigment combine to deliver incredible shading and sheen with a realistic metallic finish. Mazda developed this technology so it looks as if the car has been sculpted out of a great piece of steel, rather than individual elements.

Machine Gray and the MX-5 Miata RF

The KODO – Soul of Motion concept is alive in Mazda’s premium paint finishes. Machine Gray is gorgeous and available on the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and other Mazda models this spring. You’ll want to be the first to see it, so contact Biggers Mazda today more details and shipping information.
