I posted this in another section but didnt get many replies so figured id try here.

I have a 95 mustang GT...and am looking to get it painted in the near future. I have no idea what color i want to paint it though. It is currently laser red..but the clear coat is peeling. Anyone have any pics of some good looking paint jobs or some color ideas?

The interior is black and grey leather.

If you don't hate the current color i'd recommend repainting it the same color. Much cheaper.

Most(all?) color schemes that aren't one solid color look terrible. I second the red.

I'd never ask someone else what color I should paint my car.

I agree, your color has to be about you. I'm in the same boat but more stuck than you, my car is dark green with a tan top and leather. So unless I want to change EVERYTHING, it's gonna get a fresh coat of dark green again. red is classic fast though.

Reds are also the most expensive colors to paint, aside from color shifting paint and what not. If you wanted to mix things up a little you could always do the stock red with a black top or something of that nature.
