ohsnap88 · 11-03-2007, 06:30 PM

Ive been thinking about changing the color of my car since i really dont like white that much. i was thinking about just doing a flat black or a bright yellow, not really sure. what color do you guys think would look good for my car?

well depending on what you expect from it there's a couple of options.

if you want it to really stand out

look into a chrome illusion paint job...goes from orange, to green, to red, to blue, etc..

or go with mystichrome

or Sonic Blue is a good color too.

the new Vapor Silver that is on the 08's in nice, I had an 01 GT that was Mineral grey (wish I still had), i currently have a Redfire 07 GT... just like everybody else ( iwould nt do the Redfire). but if you want to POP and get attention... House of Kolor has a color called Candy Apple Brandywine that is just cooler than hell. If i can find some of the pics i have of my mineral grey and the brandywine i will post them.

Hmmm......tough call....obviously you want something to match your interior color scheme....but after that its a matter of personal taste. I prefer metallic colors....they have more "depth"....my laser red metallic is a knockout in the sun

Candy colors,flip flop pearls and specialty coatings will cost you a lot of change...but again its your choice and budget.Complete "plain jane" paint jobs arent cheap either.

Good luck

One other note....i'd have to agrree with Mixedbreed......chrome illusion is a standout.....i saw it one time at our annual dream cruise...the cruise draws 50,000 to 80,000 classic cars and millions of viewers each year.Tell ya what...go to yahoo or google and search woodward dream cruise.....i'm sure you'll find thousands of pics and some good ideas

Mixedbreed02GT · 11-04-2007, 05:51 PM

do a pearl white (like on the 97 Thunderbird Super Coupe) and pearl blue racing stripes...that would definitely get some major attention.

this is chrome illusion

actually if you paint the car black, and the front in flames with this color, it looks pretty awesome.

ok i finally found a picture of my old 01 GT. the hood treatment was done by a local body shop, i really cant remember what silver we used, since we looked at about 20 different variations, iw ant to say it was off of a 2000 BMW 3 series.

Codiddy · 11-05-2007, 11:26 AM

yes i was thinking about flat black, but how would the convertible top look on a flat black car? they dont really go together. does anyone have a pic of a flat black mustang? google wasnt much help

3.8for the win · 11-10-2007, 06:11 PM

the thing about flat colors is there hard to keep clean.

ok honestly, sell the v6, and buy a v-8 of the color you want.

you're wasting more money on a car that's not even really worth putting money into to begin with. the car will never have any value, so why put money into it? sell it and get what you really want.

3.8for the win · 11-11-2007, 09:32 AM

you should of not got that car if you did not like white. repainting it would be cheaper then buying a new car.

...Except to those of us who have them and appreciate our possesions.

Sorry all of us don't have V-8's bro... We'll try harder next time...

As for the color. Black is always a solid choice. Then go get yourself the Mach 1 gill delete and the chin spoiler, and you'll have a nice looking ride.

r3dn3ck · 11-11-2007, 10:16 AM

what's wrong with pale ass white? You can make a stormtrooper or any of a zillion other white based options. Work on accentuating the lines of the body and the paint color will be irrelevant.

BTW...that mullet mobile is t3h yuckz0rs. Barf barf retch puke. That only looks good on 96 and 04 cobras and only on a very few of them
