You may have mentioned this previously, but just in case I missed it, what color are you guys planning on painting it?

My son had a Ferrari red in mind. I don’t think it’s metallic.

The estimate from guy that did bodywork was over $20K for 2 stage paint. Unfortunately that was way out of budget.

Earl Scheib still around? If you left your windows open, they’d do your interior for free.

Of course. They want their cut of the increased value from the paint job. When shopping around, suggest getting quotes for a 2010 and then claim a typo.

Don't forget that if you like orange, they'd just primer it for $10 less. Of course, then you have to wipe it down with kerosene for C&Cs or any time you want it shiny.

Reds are nice, but that thing would look incredible in Nightmist Blue....

Thinking about getting a portable spray booth. I haven’t shot a car since 1979 but it’s like riding a bike 🤣 if it was mine I’d go that route

That looks awesome! I personally love blue but son wants red. Wish it was a candy apple red but I’m sure it will look good.

I agree. All my stangs were blue. 68 was a silver blue. 06 was vista blue metallic and my 21 is velocity blue metallic. I tried to order the 22 in different color but came back to my favorite

I am not a red fan either, but the wife loves the Rapid Red on our stang and I don't really look at it as red but rather as a close candy apple.

Wow! That’s crazy expensive.
It was actually closer to $30k for 2 stage paint. Single stage was around $20k.
