If you are decided on the stripes, I like white w/blue stripes or blue w/ white stripes. I like this color blue.

Becuse his is a GT, I'm assuming that the stripes he speaks of are going to be under the door.

PINK







Just kidding, Red w/white stipes, it's done a lot but it's classic. I also like Black w/charcoal stripes. Or blue W/white stripes. hmmm.. wonder how white w/red stripes would look...

Go to your local paint store, they will have books with thousands and thousands of colors. Be sure to take your selections out into the sun so you can really get an idea of the true color and the effect that bright light will have on the colors.

It might just be me, but I can not imagine doing a project car that is limitedto a fewcolor selections that were offered stock 40 years ago, but that is just me.

That's what I thought too. If that's what the OP is talking about I would just use the original colors. If he's talking about Le Mans stripes then I wouldn't even get them because I don't like those on fastbacks, much less a coupe. IMO, they only belong on Shelby's.

I think I might do the white with black stripes (both over the hood and on the rocker). But can you get metal flake in white paint? And what does IMO mean?

IMO (in my opinion) you can get white in metalic.

James W's car has no hood stripe, just a classy custom side stripe. I like it but I'm with BlackLX on the shelby hood stripes...shelby #1, fastback maybe, coupe...nup, not for me. But, hey, each to his own right?!?

my car is white (similar to James's) and not too stark. Paint job was aquick and dirty el-cheapo8 years ago. No fade or yellowing.

good lick with the choices

i think british racing green(some year has a similar color green) is sex on a mustang but yellow looks damn good on a tastefully done restomod. maybe a black rocker panel stripe without the number designations, just solid...

if i see another red mustang im gonna hang myself
