THE PROJECT
SKYLINE GREY PROJECT
When your motto is “Giving Life Colour” sky is never the limit! It is a line you just need to cross and that's exactly what we did with Skyline Grey, the second 3-stage colour of the Basecoat Exclusives series.
​
Drawing inspiration from the thrilling energy of high-speed racing, embodied by the Mazda MX-5's record-breaking Nürburgring lap, we created a colour that provides a unique effect of a sparkling grey base with vibrant and striking blue reflections. Applying it on the car was not just a task of precise repainting but a journey of change, adaptability and progress!
​
Skyline Grey showcases the pinnacle of our innovation and craftsmanship while praising inspiration for evolution and transformation.
