Nice job.

Black on top of any two tone paint job is the way to go.imo Makes the car look visually lower.

I love 2 tone Mustangs...the SN95 cars look even better than Fox's but it works awesome on Fox cars, that's why so many people do it. I've been in love with it since i got on this forum and since then i've lost count of how many times i've seen it. On my car i'm probably going with a solid color at first and later when i'm bored with it i'm gonna have the top painted black.

nice deal at a $1000. i know a lot of ppl don't like the cheese graters (i do) but i think it would look real nice on yours.

Nice job for the money you put in. Did you take it to him sanded down or did the $1000 include the sanding as well?

I don't care for the paint colors...

Looks good. For the money you can't really complain, although I probably would have spent a little time taking the headlights off.

For a reference, it takes less than an hour to remove headlights, tail lights, mirrors, antenna (and no you don't have to cut the antenna wire), cowl vent, belt moulding and drip rail moulding. The front and back window mouldings are a little tougher since you have to play nice with them, but worth the effort. The paint lines left by leaving those items on would drive me nuts....even on my 4-banger daily driver.

How mine looked the day it was going to paint. Had to drive it there so 3 nuts held the tail lights on and only the turn signals were on there so it took 5 minutes to remove them once there:

Since my car has been painted the two tone, I have only ever had 5 lug Bullitts or Weld Draglites. I have had stock rims, welds and Cobra Rs back when the car was white though.
