I'm really considering repainting my car. I want to keep the black trim and was curious what color you guys would recommend. I'm leaning towards aSonic Blue,Kona Blue or maybe even another Red Shade(either custom or maybe Vibrant Red)

Vibrant red. But I'm in the same boat as you. The paint on my car is gorgeous, but I want red. Why? We'll just because I love red.

I've got a little rust bubble in the rear 1/4 panel. The paint is ok right now but it needs some attention. There's some orange peel etc. I like the red but I'm really intrigued with Blue.

Kinda like asking whether you like blonds, brunets, or redheads. I actually prefer blue to red, but I'd probably stay with the factory color.

IMO keeping the black trim works on an '86 only with the foureye,
...but I'm not sure which other colors could hold it. Maybe we can get a photoshop guru up in here and do some work to help out a playa!!!

I think you could get away with a different shade of red pretty easily, but a complete color change to blue will be quite a bit more work. Jambs, underside of hood, engine bay, etc.

With that being said...

Twilight Blue...


Or Vibrant Red...


I like both.

If I wasn't going for a factory Fox color, I think I would do Kona if I wanted a blue.

Personally, I'd keep the factory color, I like the red with black trim combo.

You mentioned orange peel. Is it not the original paint job that's on it now? If not, I would definitely go for the blue. Most 4-eye cars I see are either red, white or black. Very rarely do I see anyone attempting a different color. Making a color look great on 4-eyes is tricky.
