New Paint Job Opinions??

Foxstang31 · Oct 10, 2015

So I'm getting my 88 gt painted next month and I was thinking either Black or repaint my factory Cabernet Red?? Whats your opinions on what color you guys like better, pics below!! Btw I'm getting a single stage paint job either black or cabernet red for $860 I know the paint won't be the best but its what I can afford right now.

Are they going to paint the door jams or engine compartment?

Actually better advise.....keep saving until you can afford a decent paint job. If it looks horrible now just primer it one color....

Taking short cut only leads to doing it twice

For $860 it includes door jams and engine compartment the top pic is my actual car heres another pic of my car

Keep the same color. Hopefully it turns out for you.

Foxstang31 · Oct 10, 2015

thanks guys and yeah I'm staying with the same color

That looks pretty good, can you buff it out? May be better than an 860 paint job

Foxes came with single stage so that's not a issue.

A color change is awesome if they do the jams and bay. Nothing looks better than a black fox... That said, black is a constant chore to keep clean.

it does look good at a glance... but if you look close you'll figure out why he wants to paint it. A buff or clay bar ain't gonna fix what he's got going on. It needs paint, and bodywork.

Exactly! only at a glance it looks good but the roof is completely faded as you can tell in first picture and the cowl has dent were the hood flew up on previous owner plus a white hood doesn't help it either

IMO color changes look like ass unless you get the door jams, under the hood, engne compartment, etc. Nothing looks worse than opening up a hood, door, or trunk and seeing a different color paint.

True. Thats why I'm definitely going that route if I do a color change.

I would keep the red.

jozsefsz · Oct 10, 2015

Keeping a single stage black paint job looking good is about as close to hell as I'd want to get. I also like the red, shows the contours of the car better and gets more noticed. Black blends into every other car out there these days.

stykthyn · Oct 10, 2015

I love a black Fox but I wouldn't do a complete color change. If you feel the need for black maybe a flat black panel on the hood?

Foxstang31 · Oct 10, 2015

We will see I haven't made my mind up yet but I'm really digging black Fox's!

A5literMan · Oct 10, 2015

Black is my favorite color. But it is a major pita to keep clean. Every wheel and tire combo looks good IMO. It does kind of "hide" some of the cars lines and it's usually not a "wow" looking color. But again I too love black mustangs. I've owned 2 and 2 red cars along with a white one. Changing colors has to be done right or it looks like chit. Hard to believe you can get a quality job for under 1000$. Cheapest quote I got last year(keeping same color) on a very solid car was 2800$ and the avg was around 5k(with a 2 stage paint). One quote was 10k(but this was a candy color from house of Kolor) while adding a glass hood.

Here is mine Im partial to black but its a major pita to keep up.

Foxstang31 · Oct 11, 2015
