[QUOTE="FLYIN, post: 16523972, member: 21018"] Thanks. Yes it is guardsman blue which I believe was also known as pacific blue if it was sprayed on a Mercury back in the day. I honestly believe it looks closer to the original guardsman blue than the vinyl did. Cost was $4500 which is a little less than what Ford would have charged for the option as they did for those golden ticket GT500s at Penske. Definitely not cheap and it has taken awhile to get done as the painter is in high demand, but the quality is top notch. Most of the price is in the labor between the disassembly prep and the sanding and polishing of the surface. I’m sure there may have been places to do it cheaper, but I was more concerned that it got done well more than anything. I went with the most reputable painter I knew of. I wanted to do the side stripes as well, but that just wasn’t cost effective as it would have pretty much been an entire repaint of the car and a lot more disassembly. Front quarters removed, doors removed, rocker panels. So I’m just going to re-tape the side stripes so that they don’t break up like the factory side stripes. Looking forward to getting the car back.
