Paint

nymustang50 · April 13th, 2007, 10:23 AM

Well I'm painting my car I just don't know what color to paint it. Its an 89 Ford Mustang Convertible(black top) the car is white right now with red interior. I was thinking of a silver metallic or gray metallic. Not sure if it would look right with my car. Looking for inputs on this matter.

well all mustangs look good in black or white, but silver with red interior?? ewwww

fastford3388 · April 13th, 2007, 11:49 AM

red, or white. I would stay away from blue, yellow, green, purple, silver.... pretty much you don't have many color choices... Red is a hard interior to match to anything but red, white, or black and have it look good.

i think going white would be a good choice. unless your stang is perfectly straight, then i would go black.

i think white will be your best bet.. it will save you money as well because you aren't doing a full color change & wont have to paint the door jams & engine bay..

Bubblegum Pink.............. FTW!!!!!

J/K.... Black or white is pretty much what you're limited to my friend. I think white and a red accent stripe....

white with red lemans stripes does look great! I had them on my '90 lx and they look awesome!

nymustang50 · April 13th, 2007, 03:28 PM

Im not going black because of I cant get it perfectly straight. I think the silver or gray would look good and even a white maybe pearl white.

Have you priced pearls??? sweet lookin' but damn....

If you go w/ a pearl, be warned; it will grab light and reflect it. Therefore, it will show all the flaws...

TurboLX · April 13th, 2007, 04:02 PM

pearl is hard to paint and expensive because it requires alot of work

terribleonexx88 · April 13th, 2007, 05:28 PM

silver and red is fine just throw on some red pin stripes

I would stick to the orignal color unless you are painting the engine bay also.. Nothin worse than havin a different color engine bay I think...

That would not work for him he is from Long Island. I think if his car was primered they would kick him off the island and make him move to the Bronx or something....

Don't paint it and put the money into some more "go fast now" mods. Speed before beauty
