mazda millenia - 1995-2002

 

Not exactly a replacement for the 929, and not exactly a giant step up from the 626 it shared major parts with, Mazda's conflicted Millenia luxury sedan ended up becoming something special on its own terms. Known by most for its spectacular styling and the unique Miller Cycle engine, it has become a cult classic among both Mazda fans and lovers of interesting automobiles.

 

The Millenia only endured one generation from 1995-2002 (the "TA" model), but with a major facelift and update during that time.

MAZDA MILLENIA PAINT COLORS

 

This info comes from a site called PaintScratch.com, sellers of touch-up kits and paint packages that match original factory colors. All I've done is compiled the paint codes for each year - it's up to you to check your car and see what matches.

 

You can find your color by simply opening up your driver door and, on the info sticker on the door jamb, looking for a two- or three-digit paint code.
