Best Color or Design to paint a COBRA

mustang3194 · December 21st, 2010, 11:42 AM

Many of you probably saw my complete COBRA swap a year or so ago, anyways long story short my neighbor backed into the passenger side of my car damaging the door fender, and mirror, insurance will probably total it because they think the cars a v6, im gonna buy the car back and probably be left with 2000 to put into the car, i am able to get a door mirror and fender on craigslist for 150 so im left with 1850. I have a cobra hood and rear bumper but am buying a cobra front for 220. and maybe a kaenen s281 spoiler but maybe not. I should be left with 1630 and the car needs a paint job really bad. Im looking at a few colors but not sure what people think or if you have any better ideas. My first choice would be white with black rims with chrome lip window tint and smoked lenses. I have some other colors in mind, highland green, sonic blue, a deep red color, or the dark green almost black looking color they use on some of the newer mustangs, what do you think.

Flat Black, Mineral Gray, or a two tone of MG and gloss black.

Sorry, I am not a very colorful person.

A $1600 paint job isn't gonna be all the great unless you got a hookup...

But I had my old cobra 2tone Black and Red. Got tons of compliments on it. But its attracted a lot of cops.

Red. Yellow. Grey. White. Any of those look nice black is alright but personally it kind of takes away the purpose of the painted retractible mirrors and bumper bezels

I just noticed it wasn't a new edge but any of those colors look nice

sonic blue /endthread

mustang3194 · December 21st, 2010, 04:47 PM

any color close to silver or gray is out, thats what i have now and im not too happy with it, i like the black and red 2 tone but 2 tone isnt my thing, the blue looks good but not too sure about it on a sn95, it looks sick on the new edges but when i see it on a sn95 it just doesnt pop like the new edges, white always looks great but gets dirty easily and then it seems like the only good color for rims on a black car is chrome and chromes not my thing, also never seen the midnight black on a sn95 so not sure what to think, its a cool color on the new cars but then again like the blue i think it would look better on a car with more sharp edges like the new edge, but then again red also looks good but there is just so many of them in red and i want it to be kinda different, idk what color to pick i like them all but they all have something bad about them

Keasbey · December 21st, 2010, 04:53 PM

I like the blues/greens/oranges/deep reds.

every vehicle you see on the road is a white/black/grey/beige bland color... actually there is no color... i personally liked the 94-95 teal. i wouldnt even keep it to ford colors... just look around parking lots and see what you like. factory paint should be the cheaper stuff to get id think

ChrisJ · December 21st, 2010, 04:57 PM

Grabber Blue FTW!

AzSonicSnake · December 21st, 2010, 04:57 PM
