Since I put a new cobra bumper on my car, and i have a few areas that need attention, I will be repainting my car.

What do you guys think? Tangerine orange again or Grabber blue? Ive decided over those 2 colors. I like the orange, but I possibly want to mix it up, have something different.

Below, the orange car is my actual car, and the blue is just a random web pic of grabber blue





what would you do? anyone have any pics of a SN95 in Grabber blue?

I love some grabber blue, I think it's a damn sexy color. BUT... I don't think it would look right on a SN

How many Tangerine Orange cars do you see on the road? Not many, which is why I say go with the orange.

IMO.... Orange is played out. Unless you are going with something totally out there as far as color goes, orange in the most traditional sense was an early 00's color choice. There are nice colors in the orange family, but they are harder to carry on a custom build like yours.

Personally, I think the Grabber Blue would be the better choice of the two. If you were dead set on an orange I would suggest going with some sort of metallic or pearl color. It doesn't have to be way strange but it would work better than a solid orange would and given the curves that the SN95 cars have, an effect color certainly works well on them.

FWIW, I did a quick-n-dirty of your car in the blue. I like it.

i like both, but it really depends on what you are going for ... i have seen a whole lot more blue stangs than orange. if i were doing it, i'd stick with orange. a color change like that means alot more painting needs to be done ... inside the trunk, door edges, ...

Love the ORANGE!

I really like Grabber Blue too, but if you've got orange, I wouldn't change. Plus, then you don't have to change your screen name!

Seriously, orange is one of the best colors out there for Mustangs, IMHO. Hoping that's what color the 2012 Boss 302 on my Christmas list comes in. )

i would be kinda weird for a guy to have a username of "OrangeMustangGT" and have a blue car!

i guess you could change it to "GrabberBlueGT" though

Keep it orange, but make it metallic, like the burnt orange Saleen S7.

Is your car a factory Tangerine Orange '96? If so, I'd leave it orange. Those aren't very common.

I would also leave it orange as that is kind of a rare color.

Orange pearl > *

Grabber with some pearl could be awesome though.
