What color should I paint 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.

I say Screaming Yellow and Black FTW !!!!!!!!

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

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

:hahaha:
what ever you do don't pant it like that camaro that looks like a rain bow.

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

that would look good but this camaro is like pink and purple what ever.

Flat black w/ black interior ftw.

+1.

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.

Black FTW!

What the hell are you talking about? that camaro looks friggin sweet!

It looks friggin sweet now, but imagine how ULTRA FRIGGIN SWEET it would look with some nice seat covers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

x2!!!!

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

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.

:confused:

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.

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 :)

You think 99-04 Gts will have any value?

ha ha ha ha ha!

Ohsnap, keep it white, get flat-black accents. Paint your grille black again.
White + black = win.

+1 haha new cars stopped appreciating a long ass time ago. Just remove the grille don't paint it black

x2 the 94-04 mustang wont have any value because ford sells over 100,000+ every year.:(

Zing!

Zing!

Exactally...

Plus, I'd much rather keep a car that I purchased new.

Selling your car and buying a used one is great, until you realize that someone traded it in because it was developing a transmission problem or something like that.

But we're off topic.

The white is nice. Mine is red, but red paint is uber-expensive.

If your white paint is nice, keep it. I like the look of black, but thats just me.

Get the grill delete and chin spoiler though bro. It does a lot for the look of the front end (i HATE the honeycomb grill)

that's why you take it to your mechanic and let him check it out first. it will have resale value if it's taken care of and maintained, especially more than a v6.

But he doesn't have a v8. He has a v6 and wants to paint it. So stop telling him to go buy a v8... ;)

You know what, this is way off topic. I appologize to the original poster. Allow me to get it back on track...

Mixedbreed votes for blue...
