Default Paint Ideas

Hello everyone,
I am getting ready to finish up the last little bits of body work and paint the stang this winter. Right now it is in primer black which looks pretty cool but isnt very water proof, i can re-spray it and clear it so it is, or i can actually give it a paint job. Let me know what colors you think i should paint it, or just leave it in black primer but with a clear. Let me know, open to any ideas!
Matt

idk what other people think but i like the flat black look on your car i think you should Sand down the bad parts if any re-spray the car one more time and put a few coats of clear. but don't make it to shiny keep it real flat it looks good!

You can't go wrong with black! And I agree that the matte finish would be awsome.

That is an unusual color for a Mustang, but certainly a nice one. Looks mean.
See if you can get your hood to line up a little better. It seems to be sticking up too much toward the window. If you want to go with a real paint, a dark gray would be stunning on that car.

I usually hate black on a car as it is such a pain in the *** to keep clean. But with your car...it looks tough as!!!

Looks good as is, but I think it would look better with a nice dark gray paint job. I would recommend the Dark Shadow Gray (or DSG) from the 99-04 Mustangs.
