Default Paint Colors

Just wondering what color everyone painted their cars. Looking to get mine painted sometime soon but can't seem to decide on a color. My original color is a lime-ish Green, but I do not really like it. I hate to have it non-original color but I was looking for a color in the middle of a charcoal-black to flat black type look. Any ideas??
If anyone wants to share a picture of what theirs looks like it would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm thinking you've never seen a well-painted BC/CC Lime Gold Mustang. Pity. You probably would already be ordering the paint. This color was so cool Ford brought it back on the late model as "Legend Lime".

I'd post a photo, but you really have to see it, the deep metallic doesn't photograph well.

Z that is an awesome combination. Love it. I have seen that combo on new mustangs never an old one though.

2+2 Please post a picture if you have one with a professional paint job. I am thinking mine is closest to this color Medium Lime Metallic. It almost looks lighter than that color though. Maybe my color has faded? Who knows.

They don't get any fresher or more professional than this:

That looks like a grabber type color to me. My color is more yellowish. Like lime green with a little more yellow? It is nothing like that color on that mustang. I would drive that though lol. Any idea what my color is? I am in a different state right now so can not check the VIN.

The color is not coded into the VIN. You will need to check the codes on the door tag if it is still there.

Here is a chip chart that might help you. The two colors you really need to see don't have pics but the chip chart in the upper left might help.

Edit: I guess I need to actually put the link in the post! Duh! http://www.svs.com/zim/mustang/70colors.html
