Default Any suggestions on what color I should paint my 5.0?

Hey i'm just wondering if anybody has any good suggestions for a paint job for my 5.0. It is like a midnight blue right now and the paint is kind of wearing off because the paint wasn't really a good job. I was thinking about yellow with black racing stripes, just flat black, metallic black, or back the same color just a better paint job. Any suggestions are welcome, and pictures are appreciated thanks

I like the second color but i want a color that goes good with the stock 5.0 rims because i was going to put the stock wheels back on there and add a lot of modifications.

just get an OEM color then. or thunder blue or whatever its called. it changes shade of blue depending on how much light it receives. i've always loved that color. there is someone on this forum that has it.

4.10 gears, and all suspension upgrades. you'll thanks me later.


4.10's, sub frame connectors, upper and lower control arms, springs, shocks/struts, CC plates, sticker tire

all in that order.

Alright I'll keep that in mind when i go shopping to upgrade. I was thinking about getting throttle body, cold air intake, and headers first though.
