As much as I hate red cars, a Laser Red really REALLY clean, old SN95 done up right is a thing of beauty. Just like the yellow from the same years.

I went through hell with ford, it took them 5 full paint jobs on my car till finally they got it all right. They had to get the paint company to come out with their own crew of professionals,painter ect to get it done,
