Im almost ready for a paint job, and I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas about any really nice paint colors/designs. My pockets aren't that deep so im looking for something maybe $600 - $1000.

I was thinking myself to get a dark blue on the bottom, not to dark though and re-painting the hood, roof, trunk, and above the doors white again. The spoiler and everything else would be a the dark blue.

It sounds like you are asking for opinions, so here is mine. Take a look at the interior color and see if the blue will go with it. And, personally I do not like Mustangs to be two-toned. If you are going to paint it blue, then paint the entire car blue. But, you could add some accents like a black spoiler and mirrors. That's my 2 cents.

personally I would like to stay away from black. My first car was a 94 V6 mustang and was black in color. I had the hardest time keeping that car clean. I like the idea of the two colors because of the body kit on it, i also thought about painting the whole car a deep orange color.

Yeah, I guess you have a point about the body kit. If you could somehow paint it on the computer then look at it before you actually painted it, that would keep you from making a mistake. Surely there is some software out there just for this purpose.

Yeah but purchasing the software is not exactly what i want to do lol

If that's your car in the pic, i'd suggest a white pearl. Imho it would look great.

I agree. Any solid color would look great on that hoss.

I have looked at a pearl white already

The one that I picked out was about $1.5 Grand. And I'm going to try and get them to do body work to it too (the stuff I cant do myself) If thats the case I would be looking at about $1.9 Grand or more i would think... And I just spent like $400 so I only have $900 left (at least till I get paid again and being a hostess at a steak house doesn't pay that great) So if I did get pear i would be waiting for a while.

im partial to my red this is an awesome color i used on my 91 its a house of kolor apple red kandy but its very expensive(i got some free paint at work only cost me 100$ to do this

I agree, this color is awesome but I doubt it will be in Stang98's budget. Unless you plan to drive to Virginia to do your 100$ paintjob.

Here is my 15mn paint job for you Stang98. I messed up with the masking tape so it will be free of charge.

I am not crazy about two tone paints on this generation of Mustangs but it might help you decide if it's what you want to do.

i think that white and blue looks pretty good on her car

white with blue racing stripes. It's not totally original but I've seen it look good a few times. I almost bought my car as white with black racing stripes. You've eliminated a whole bunch of colors that are good. That's probably why they are common, but racing striped could be a good looking way to have two-tone.
