Poll: Painting car, can't decide what color

**Chris** · March 15th, 2009, 11:41 AM

I am dropping my coupe off at my future Father-in-law's house today and he is gonna get started on getting the body right and then he's gonna rent a booth and paint it. I have the PPG books with the color samples and so far I am dead-locked between Sonic Blue and Mineral grey metallic.

I know either color is gonna be bad ass, but the blue might draw more attention from the police....

If these two color options were all that you had to choose from, which would you choose?

viperlocc · March 15th, 2009, 11:57 AM

def. silver. i dont think blue looks good on stangs.

87FloridaGT · March 15th, 2009, 11:58 AM

Reef Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

baine21225 · March 15th, 2009, 12:02 PM

sonic blue is everywhere

**Chris** · March 15th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Looks like blue is out....lol

Thanks for the input....it's amazing how tough a decision like this is when it should be simple.

flamestang · March 15th, 2009, 02:19 PM

blue is a head turner while grey goes unotice.

**Chris** · March 15th, 2009, 08:05 PM

The color has been chosen.... look for a progress thread dedicated to the paint job very soon.

BlessedHellride · March 15th, 2009, 11:11 PM

hopper · March 16th, 2009, 12:50 PM

I love the flat black on your car the way it is bro. I almost painted my dually flat black and my stang. The stang is my wifes car also so she didnt like the idea too much so I had to chose between yellow (her fav. color) and orang (my fav. color) Its obvious which way we went. but I love flat black

C MY 4D · March 16th, 2009, 08:36 PM

I have seen both and would say the mineral gray looks better on a fox. On a Cobra its a different story. They are both nice colors.

shadowgames81 · March 16th, 2009, 08:44 PM

think sonic blue is done too much myself.

Grabber523 · March 16th, 2009, 08:52 PM

Two-tone! Grey up top, blue on the bottom...

**Chris** · March 16th, 2009, 11:56 PM

I liked the flat black for a long time, but it's time for a change.... I miss waxing my car...lol

The mineral gray has been ordered. I love the sonic blue but I don't want the attention. I partake in too many late night top speed tests.... the gray is gonna be more invisible and less assuming to the po-po

If it is sprayed with a real paint gun it looks awesome. I think the DuPont color code is DP 90.

Mine unfortunately was rattle canned.

TKOTLARZ · March 17th, 2009, 03:01 PM

good call on the grey.. charcoal grey with some black stripes, or not..with some black rims and blackedout headlights and tailights is tight as f*ck..somthing that i always liked and wanted to do..i believe the mineral grey and charcoal are the same or almost the same..post some pics of ur progress! (when the paint gets there and u make some progress)lol
