Hello all,
Well since I have been stuck in the desert I have been dreaming of getting back and putting a new coat of paint on the car. I know most people think that black and grey is getting played out but I was wondering what everyone thought of this scheme. I dont have lots of photoshop skills so I had someone else do this for me. What do we think? Pros/Cons? Just want to make it stand out a little more than it does now. Thanks in advance!

Semper Fi,
Kris

I think it would look good. I like it the color it is though. It just seems like everyone is painting their Stang red or black or gray etc. All of the other colors seem to be getting left behind. I say keep it as is or repaint the same color. If anything I would go for a color that is not as common. That is why I painted mine Caspian blue. I wanted a 60s Ford color that was a midnight blue.

My personal favorite is the Bullitt green, but that's just me.

That dark grey looks very good too. Another color that gets my heart pumping is the old rat rod look of a nicely painted hot rod primer black. I think it looks mean!

I have thought about changing the color of mine for a long time, but every time I tell someone that, they all say to leave it the same color because its unique....

CoolBlue65, I like the color of your Mustang. What is the actual color name?
