So its time to send my 65 coupe off to the body shop to get rid of all the rust and get it painted. I want to go back white, but I'm not sure if I want wimbledon white. So I was wondering if any of yall could post any pics you have off your white mustangs or give any suggestions to other whites. Thanks

+1 on rmodel65's idea. It also usually saves you money because they will have the new car paint on hand and not have to make/order it for you.

Also go look at valley firearm's mustang, his is a really nice white with blue stripes.

there is alot of different whites! There is dual, tri, and even quad stages on whites, there are yellow, blue, grey and green whites! the dealership is a good idea but dont limit yourself to just domestic cars, i like infinity whites , check them out...

Sorry for the not-so-good pics. Especially after seeing jamesw's post! Not sure of the exact name of the color. But it looks to me like it's a little more of an off-white with maroon stripes/interior. I love the look!

Thats pretty much what I'm looking for. Nothing extremely bright but something that looks more white than wimbleton white. Its too off white for my taste. And yeah, JamesW's picture is sweet
