I am going to repaint the tail light bezels, hopefully today. I have a 1994 gt, in laser red. but the paint is faded in some spots.

I'm going to repaint the whole car at my school [autobody tech school] sometime this year, probably a dark dark red and when you see it in the light its a red like the stock color. My teacher pointed it out to me i'll have to get the paint code and find it online.


I'm either going to spray them red like the car is now, for until i paint it, or flat black, or gloss black.

I have 17 inch bullitts on it, silver bullitts.

I'm going to put the mustang GT lettering in, i'm thinking either stainless steel or black.

probably stainless though.

also if i do them red, i'll probably do a black pinstripe in it tomorrowin between the bezel and light.

if it were me i would paint the bezels red, tint out the lenses and then put black bumper inserts in. i am not really following the pin stripe idea thingy though. any way you could try to explain that again?

I went with flat black, however I did mine with semi flat, it doesnt scratch as easily but it's not glossy. I just did my license plate piece semi flat as well.

my old 94 faleen was laser red with black tailight bezels, it looked good cause the paint was faded as well so it broke it up a little, with fresh paint i would do them the same color as the car.

get krylon fusion paint if you haven't done it already. the flat black comes out a nice eggshell gloss.

well, I don't like how the red bezel and the red light run together.

so i would paint the bezel red, and leave the lights how they are, and then put a black line inbetween the light and the bezel, to give it a little accent.

I haven't done them yet, I planned on doing them the day i posted this, but its been cold and i've been feeling kinda off. so its kinda good in a way, I can think about this more.
87 GT, do you have any pictures that are like that?

The more and more I'm thinking about it, I want to do my car in that sunburnt orange color, or whatever its called.



I saw a 94/95 when I first started looking for a car, it was a vert with black interior, with some chrome rims on it, with a 5.0 and a 5 speed, and I thought it looked awesome with that color. anyone else see a sn95 with this color?

Here's mine from a few angles... I used the 96+ bukets. I don't think the 94-95 style looks as good in an offset color. Mine are satin btw.

Hanky, that's a nice looking car. I've been debating about painting mine satin black. I think I'll go ahead and do it.
