Default Car Paint

My brother-n-law owns a shop so the money really wouldnt be that big of a issue...but the question is..

How many of you think I should paint my yellow stang - black, or performance red?? Im really kind of getting tired of the yellow...

Black is by far the best. No questions asked. Black 99-04's are the hottest kind of stangs around! Beautiful car!

IMO, I would just leave it the color it is.

TRUE...you may want to think about that. I only plan on painting my car a different color if I end up doing the engine swap. At that point it will become a true project car and probably end up being a show-only car. For now I say leave it yellow.

I would say leave it yellow-- for the shop to get the entire color over all the car, they'd have to take some of it apart and get in the little places that don't necessarily meet the eye. You can always do something to jazz up the yellow which will keep you content for now.

Black is a fabulous color on mustangs-- thus why I chose it for mine. BUT, it's a biatch to take care of. [:@] Red, I personally think is
a) too common on mustangs, I see 1000 red ones a day
b) kinda a boring color, to me anyways...

Stick with the yellow and jazz her up!

BLACK GETS DIRTY AND SHOWS EVERY SCRATCH AND DING AS WELL AS SWIRLS.
I think red should be banned from every car and truck. Only for exotic cars. It's tacky and girlish.
If you want sharp but dark, Just do a charcoal metallic...that would look hot with chromies.
