If you could paint your car any color, what would it be? I'm really having a tough time deciding what direction I want to go in with my car... So I need some ideas for some colors.

I've been wondering the same. My first Mustang was black and I loved it. So for my current one I was of course thinking about black but with a subtle custom touch like a fine metallic flake. But for some reason I'm just not sure. And yesterday I saw a color on a Hyundai (of all cars) that I actually quite liked. I think it's called Pacific Blue Pearl.

The next project I get my hands on, I'd like to go with Reef Blue, Wild Strawberry Metallic or Calypso Green. Just love those colors!

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

My three favorite fox colors. I just happen to have a reef blue car tucked away, and of course there's the calypso. I've never owned a red car, but I think wild strawberry stands a good chance!

My thing is that there's so many Mustangs around my area that are red, black, or yellow and it's just getting played out. I saw a DHG Bullitt the other day and I've been hooked on that now. When I saw that car my first thought was "Fox Bullitt" but I'm not so sure.. I've got a friend with a black Bullitt and another friend with a Silver GT so I'm not really sure if I want to do silver. I definitely won't do black because that's very common in my area. Like Riverart said, I keep seeing new cars around town that have awesome colors.

I think color is overrated. I say go for a rat rod theme and sand off all of the paint.
Then leave it off.

Unfortunately not. There may be a couple other pics of it on the net. i yanked it off a thread at the corral a few years ago cause I loved the way it looked. The op didn't gave any specs orveven claim it as his. Easily one of my top 5 favorite foxes.

Look like 17x9 03 cobra wheels with 245 up front and a 275 out back. Likely sitting on coil overs. Could be cut springs but given the attention paid to the rest of the car i highly doubt it.
