Thinking about repainting the car

[Tim99GT]

So, the other day i finally finished my motor/blower install only to find out i have two small oil leaks. One on the timing cover and one on the (What looks to be) rear of the passenger head. With that said, more than likely ill be pulling the motor yet again. I'm not too excited about it, but i do need to install my full 3" exhaust so the k-member etc would need to come out anyways.

Long story short, Ive been toying with the idea of painting the car since Ive started this build and now would be a great time to do this. The paint on the car is decent right now but could definitely be redone to bring back its shine and to fix a few problem areas.

So, question is do i repaint the car the same color it is or change it up. Ive had this car since 2005 and its always been silver, but i wouldn't mind something new and have been looking at maybe having her painted sonic blue.
What do you guys think?
Should i go with something else?
Whats your favorite color?
Post pics of what you think i should go with. I am not opposed to any color besides white or yellow(Sorry guys lol).

Pics i found of a sonic blue Roush Cobra:

What do you guys think?

I do like the blue but, I am also partial to Mineral Gray. To me, Mineral Gray is the sexiest color on a Mustang. If it were mine, stay Silver and more money other places.

Leave it.

If you do a color change, do one that is NOT offered on a stock 99-04 car...maybe a Grabber Blue?

This....if you're gonna do a color change, do something you don't see everyday.

I think Sterling Grey Metallic would look nice, or even Kona Blue.

Your current color is pretty damn nice, so don't bother unless it's gonna be something out of the ordinary.

Hmm, I do like the grabber blue. Is anyone good with photoshop and can change the color so we could see what it would look like?

True. Well I'll price both options and we can go from there. I just know I want the engine bay resprayed as well as touch ups done on almost every panel. They are small touch ups, but if its going to paint then ill have it done right and fix everything at once.

i would just have the whole silver paint touched up and buffed back to new.

but I've thought about painting my silver as well. Sometimes silver gets a little boring. I would love comp orange

I also like the idea of if your going to do it...paint it a unique color to that year.

Id leave it silver, but instead of the saleens Id get some custom wheels made. That would make it pop!

I heard Cheetah vinyl wrap is in nowadays?!?

Thanks for all the comments gentlemen!
I appreciate it

I've thought about this and even spoke to Steve at TF about the wheels. If I did them I'd do the sleepers in a brushed finish. I just don't know if I could spend that sort of coin on a set of wheels :/
Not that I don't have it or that I DD the car and it wouldn't be feasible, just that dropping 3-4k on a set of wheels just doesn't do it for me. Idk. Maybe one day ill bite the bullet, but for the time being I'm rocking cheaper wheels lol

Do the dark blue on the 2013 & 2014 mustang

 

[JetmechF16]

Deep Impact Blue would look great I think! Or Electric Green, always loved that color.

 

[bleedingfordblu]

the sonic blue looks good but so does the silver. id just keep it the same color

 

[Gray_Ghost]

Have a quality touch-up and paint correction done. Use the money you saved to go towards TF wheels. It's a win-win.

I think that car would look sexy and classy if you did "white platinum" from the new F150s.

I love metallic/pearl whites on cars and there's not really any mustangs with it. Theyre usually just the plain white with no metallic and no pearl in it.

 

[slowassgt]

Deep impact blue

 

[Kingcater]

If I was gonna repaint my car I'd keep the same color unless I was going with a color that didn't come on it from the factory.

If you do change it make it a blue or another color that was never offered on your car IMHO
