My car has a fresh black paint job on it done about 2-3 years ago. With my wife working at a collision center, and the car being already tore down, i got a really reasonable quote for a full paint job. Should i leave it be and stay black, or should i change the color. I loved my comp orange cobra, and wanted to build a comp orange foxbody. So that was my first choice, but will consider others. I dont want anything out of the box and crazy. Want a factory color off a vehcile, something that can be touched up easily as i plan on driving this car everywhere. But on the other hand, hard for me to justify sanding a perfectly good paintjob off the car.

(My build thread ((turbo 383 stroker build)) has pics of the car in black)

I love the Tuxedo Black Metallic. Ford is using it on pretty much everything but the Mustang. I just finished my Ranger in it and love the different shades it throws in the sunlight.

I love the gotta have it green

I like a bold color like that, but not a huge fan of green lol.

Post pics if you have them please!


Keep them coming guys, still pondering if im going to do a color change or keep my current paint job. Im actually leaning heavily towards the grabber blue if i do it. But comp orange is still up there. Need some opinions

Heres the choices:

Im looking at the true forged mach 5 wheels with brushed centers and 1 tint clear.

Heres a black coupe with the exact wheels im looking at other then im buying 17s and these are 18s


Heres a comp orange foxbody with the same wheels, again in 18s


Lastly, heres a grabber blue fox (couldnt find one with the true forged wheels, but you get the point)

I love comp orange but not sure about on a fox. Grabber blue looks really good, I think it would turn more heads

Thats what im thinking. There is actually quite a few comp orange foxes out there. There a few grabber blues as well, but not as many. Thinking grabber blue is becoming my preferred choice at this point.

Those colors are good choices, but it looks different on a coupe , than a hatch .
I prefer the comp orange.
