The reason I am asking is because I have been doing some reading in the archives and found out that a blue 87 fiero is rare along with yellow fieros (cant remember the year).
I just happen to have had a blue fiero that is now silver. The reason I painted it was because the clear coat was messed up when I got the car. I got it from a junkyard and it was all burned from the top, the hood, the roof, the decklid, and the spoiler (wing). If I would of known that blue was a rare color for a fiero I would of just left it the way is. I don't know anything about painting but couldn't I just of sanded of the clear coat to the paint and add some clear? Or redone the hole car again in its stock blue color.
In the future when ever I save up some money I am going to try to get it repainted to its original blue color.
I have an 87 SE V6 2.8l with 5spd Getrag. Here are some before and after (now) pics.

I highly recommend that everyone get their copy of the Fiero Spotter's Guide by Mark Corbin. Then you too can amaze and confound people with bits of trivia like that. Best $5 a Fiero trivia buff can spend!

I heard there were a few 86s that got out of the factory with that color blue. I don't know if it is true or not, but I have heard it.
Blue 87s are rare enough that I would probably put it back original one of these days if it were me... In the meantime, enjoy it. It looks good silver.
The gold 86 GTs did have a rough time keeping paint on them. What I hate even worse than that was that you had a gold car with silver aero effects. Just like my wife's jewelry, gold and silver do not go together well. The gold 86 SEs with black trim looked pretty good though in my opinion.

My 87 GT is blue with 37,500 miles. Somewhat rare color, although yellow (1988) is more rare. I saw the car sitting in a sleezy car lot and pulled off the freeway immediately realizing you don't see them very often. Paid $800.00 and brought it home the next day. It's in the garage awaiting restoration behind an 86 GT and it most certainly will be blue again.
There was only 4,458 blue fieros made.. but there was only 2,474 V6 SE's, and only 1,401 SE's with the iron duke. The rarest fiero I think would be the 87 Blue SE's with the iron duke.

I don't know that I would consider it unlucky... If the numbers listed above are correct, you have rare cars if they are actually factory blue..
4,458 blue fieros made..
2,474 V6 SEs 1,401 I4 SEs
Songman......the production numbers you listed for '87 SE's are for all SE's, not just blue ones (i.e. there were a total of 1401 4-cyl. SE's built, not 1401 blue 4-cyl. SE's).

I need to find my Spotter's Guide.
As I mentioned above, the 88 coupe with T-tops was the rarest of the T-top cars so it wouldn't have surprised me to find the same with others, such as blue 87s.

2 blue coupes here. They do multiply. Selling one of them in 10 days so I'll be down to my Indy and my blue coupe that was stored in a garage for since 1993.

If you go to ebay and type in item# 170083227087, it has a story about collecting fieros and what color Blue & Yellow, years and options to buy. A good article FYI.

Original blue Fiero's are a part of the less common crowd. There are quite a few that are painted blue and look great. I've learned that blue Fiero's are only worth more than any other Fiero if the paint is completely original and has been sheltered from the elements and any harm.
