Want to change color of NOTCH to White

[SVTORANGE]

If anyone is interested or can help me out I want to swap my red Body parts for White body parts from any 90-93 Stang:rolling:

I'm a bit confused, what's the reason for changing panels? It's not like a corvette (where all the panels actually come off). The Mustang's roof, rear quarter panels and A-pillars will still be red. It'd be about as much work as just painting the car white. However, the issue I have with a color change is that's it's actually very labor intensive if you want to do it "right". What I mean by "right", is the door jams, trunk jams, actual trunk area, and most critically the engine compartment. It change the color in the engine bay would really involve removing the engine, engine harness, hard lines etc.

I was trying to save some time and just replace the fenders, trunk lid and hood to white. I understand everything else is not removable BUT I figured the owner prior to me had it painted and they did a horrible job.

Under the hood is black at this point.

Not sure how much time you'll save honestly. If you get a good paint job they'll be removing all that stuff again anyway. And if you just get a decent job, they are still going to sand/paint the parts you remove, so I wouldn't bother. Might as well just keep it all one color until your ready to paint it.

Good advice indeed

I agree 100%. Keep your existing panels (especially if they're vin- correct to the car). If it's going to get a paint job, it's pointless to change panels.

Not to mention a notch looks a helluva lot better in red....just sayin. ;-)

 

[SVTORANGE]

You think so?

Since it was originally White I think they look SIC in that color as well

 

[Mnstr50]

I think your red notch looks SICK.

I wasn't a fan of white before, but after owning two white notchbacks, I'm surprised how good they look in white!

 

[SVTORANGE]

Thank you for the kind words as that was pretty much the response I was looking for.

Just makes the car look so sleek in White!

I'm just being biased because I own a red notch too. :-D


I love them in white too.:thumbsup:

Here is my beast - HATE THE HOOD

Full 2004 Suspension completed - Almost thinking of selling it like an idiot

Wow! That's a beautiful notch! No way I'd repaint that car. If anything throw a stock hood on it and call it a day. :beer:

Much appreciated!

I think that is the next option on the hood or a small cowl hood
