help me choose a color.

[That_Guy]

some of you know, some of dont but i have a project car.. it needs to be painted when im done.."hopefully this summer" im starting to look into colors that i like. i will say the car is a fox body mustang. well i will have 2 of them by summer one of the two is a doner car.. im just waiting for my tax return. i digress. so i have a few ideas of colors i want to paint it. here are a few that i like so far. suggestions are welcome.

part of me likes the idea of this style paint. its real stealthy and sleeper.
if i where to choose this color i would gloss black the engine bay and the underbody. make everything but the outside just butter.

[88Nightmare]

you cant go wrong with flat black, but im not sure if it will look quite right on a foxbody stang.....

My favorite? Bright Atlantic Blue... I believe the ford paint code is k7

^^^Hotness.

Blue is my favorite color. I'd say sonic blue, but thats done to death. This Bright Atlantic has a nice variance in color depending upon the light and angle its shining at

I like the orange/black idea. Maybe a yellow pin to separate the two.

i was thinking something along the line of that maybe with a silver pin idk.. there are so many choices..

[PureSound15]

I think flat black will make it look like so many of the used and abused, rusty shitty faded fox bodys you see running around.

X2 thats usually what i think of the "flat/matte black" finish


i think if you did the orange on the bottome and black on the top with a silver/gray line between it would look good.

[88Nightmare]

flat black can look awesome, just not on something like a foxbody

That two toned with that blue would be hot. I'm not talking half and half, I was going to have the car primarily the silver, with blue accents here and there on certain contours of the hood, ground effects.....etc

I DID find that the vanity plates i want are still open.

[pOrk]

Gloss black on the top with matte black stripes and burnt tangelo orange on the bottom two tone, would look sick

sounds pretty different.. i like that idea... i wonder if there are any photo chop pro's here

Then slap a HD decal on it and you're set to go.:rolf

[88Nightmare]

then its gonna start leaking oil

[BoosTT]

Dark blue with flat black stripes (pin or racing). I think darker colors look best on fox body's.

[1320PNY]

Dark blue... I think darker colors look best on fox body's.


I agree, Fanatic had one of the BEST looking FOXes around when he had his '90.

i like the frost look to the black but i really like the orange.. im going to have to play around with colors. i have an idea of what im looking for possibly a frosted orangeish red.. ive got time to putz around to find the right color.

i cant lie though dark colors always look good on fox bodies... ill take a picture of the blue i like.. i have on a model i did

[Voodoo Chick]

If you decide on flat black, be prepared......it is WAY more of a pain in the ass to get right than you'd ever believe possible. But......TOTALLY worth it!

[That_Guy]

i love the frosted look. on almost all colors. the idea of a orange-ish red color frosted more towards red.. but i want black added maybe gloss black racing stripes.. i want something different.. something you look at and you say, " hmmm thats kinda cool" then you see it later and you say," i really like that" lol

[Reverend Cooper]

this guy has the right idea.
