Default Help me pick what color to paint my GT

I'm doing a full repaint on the GT. What color should I paint it? It's got a white top and white leather seats.

Sonic blue of course!

Where's black? Black would look pretty good with white leather but IMO, sonic blue would look better.

I guess from these choices...mineral gray.....I voted sonic blue accidentally.....is mineral gray a light gray? Not sure....any way a light colored metallic would do your GT justice. Why not a custom color, instead of factory shades....like adding a little silver to the mineral gray or even sonic blue? Probably work really well.

I voted Sonic Blue, but I should have voted "other", because I would choose Black.

I'd do sonic blue. There's a guy out here with that on a GT and the stripe down the middle. Very sharp when it's all cleaned and shining.

Out of those it'd be a toss up betweent he Cannery Yellow, and the Sonic Blue but I would paint my car the orange in this picture. I'm not sure what it was called but it looked pretty crazy. Even the green didn't look half bad.

that color would be called tangerine orange, if i remember correctly it was only offered in '96.

personally i think you outta paint the car in a european color, the colors are much more crisp and the quality seems to be so much better, (just to bring up an old name, Belle's car was BMW grey and it looked fantastic, and my girlfriends car is Porsche Standox Pitch Black, there is no color thats blacker than that!)

just my $.02

I'd go with mineral grey, that is an absolutely beautiful color (....is grey technically a color??? )
Anyway, i think the new mineral grey is such a deep, "wet" looking color. it's beautiful on the new GT's, and i like dark grey cars anyway.

Personally I'd go with the Canary yellow first then the mineral grey. I just like the look of a yellow stang. But the mineral grey on a fox would look sweet.

Of the choices listed I'd go with the blue, But I think that forest green (looks black at night) looks sweet. And thanks for the exhaust help, I didn't even think of the crossmember!! Thanks again...REDDOGG7885

I personally think darker colors look odd with a white top. I say canary yellow.
