Colour Change

[Bullitt1448]

hi

I have a 2001 Bullitt with terminator power that is in for an overhaul at this point, I have had this since new and it is well beyond time for a repaint and with the engine out now is the time if I am going to do a colour change. Factory colour is Black, I have been toying with the idea of changing the colour to CO. Any thoughts? Any reason not to? Since I have been mulling this idea over in my head, I have seen a lot of Orange vehicles out there everything from Mustangs to Hyundais's and I don't really want to repaint if half the cars on the road are going to be that colour. I know, black is pretty common too but has always been a fave. The car was in a minor accident 15 years ago so it isn't going to lose much value by repainting. It would be a proper colour change, door jams, engine and trunk compartments the whole works as necessary.

I'd do it DHG

Black is less common than DHG on Bullitts, I Don’t think DHG is in the cards, but thanks for the input

It may be less common on Bullitts, but as a hole DHG is more rare on Mustangs. All Mustangs came in black.

A CO Bullitt just doesn't sound right at all.

Comp Orange anything sounds great to me!

Hear me out......if it's black currently you probably don't need to repaint the jams and such....right?

Get a paint job that will be cheaper by NOT having the jams and everything redone. This will offset the price (not entirely) of getting it wrapped competition orange.

Then at some point (time / wear on the wrap/ boredom) unwrap it and you will have a fresh black paint job.... especially if you're worried about any type of resale.

^^^ I actually think that's a good idea. Orange and black looks good together. So, when you open the door and see black jams it won't look bad.

I'm not opposed to a color change. I would suggest 2 colors. Ford's 93 Teal or Ford's Laser Red. Both would look great on a Bullitt IMO.

Good luck with your project. Sounds like a great undertaking.

there's no guarantee the paint will be in good shape when the wrap comes off, hell it just might pull the paint up with it. It's been discussed here and there

Mineral Grey or Royal Crimson, since DHG isn’t in the cards apparently.


Pick your poison.

I have considered the wrap in CO, it will be considerably cheaper to just repaint black. I am concerned about the wrap damaging the paint. I have no personal experience with wraps but have read the threads on the pros and cons

I like the Idea of ‘93 Teal, thanks for the suggestion. it’s a great colour and not very common. I can’t believe painting a car can be this difficult to decide.

Pick your poison.

Royal Crimson is a possibility, MG is not a fave unfortunately.

I voted for going back to black, but if you're set on doing something different, picture this: oxford white with 18" anthracite bullitts w/dd rears, red calipers, lowered, tinted, Mach 1 grille delete and chin spoiler. Perfecto.

I know you said DHG is out but its the only color that should have been available on those cars IMOP.

If something were to happen to my car and I decided to build another new edge it would be a DHG bullitt hands down.
