I think FJ grey is avalanche grey. One of my GT350Rs is avalanche grey. I like it. So yes, to each his own, lol

its not but they are close. my cobra was avalanche. it would change based on the light it was under basically. sometimes it looked like white, sometimes shiny primer, sometimes blue. when i wetsanded it (single stage) i noticed it had a lot of brown in it. very strange color.

FJG always looks grey to me.

Careful wet sanding these cars. Clear coat is very thin.

Usually wet sanding Is done when the painter knows the car will be sanded and lays down extra clear to compensate for it. It is always best to not cut into the factory paint. The idea of paint correction, particularly in the last 10-15 years, is a direct result of the rise of ceramic coating and PPF guys looking to increase profit margins by telling owners their paint must be “corrected” before the product can be applied For best results. I have tons of experience in working with paint, including older original finishes with factory applied single stage paints. My philosophy is to never go after a blemish with paper or even aggressive compounding unless you are ok resorting to having the panel painted. Orange peel on the factory paint is actually there for a purpose

I did the paint on mine. single stage.

That is nice. I love single stage paint, especially original paint in dark colors.…I have owned some nice lower mile Foxbody cars over the years and always loved how they looked after using Megs #7. Why did your shoot it in SS?

Is all Avalanche Gray SS?

FJG (Mustang) and Cactus Grey (Bronco) are the same. Avalanche is on its own, but they are very close in color in certain pics/lighting. I’ve yet to see a Brittany car around here, hopefully this summer as I know at least a few were sold locally here. I did see an Eruption Green 500 driving around this week. That’s a gorgeous color on the 500, have only seen in on a Bronco previously.

no. i had it mixed that way to make fixing it easier later on.

I hear this… you know when you have found the right one!

My wife loves the HE Edition paint, and even enjoys the attention we get when we bring it out... not too many women I have met that are hot and also enjoy cars!

Believe me, even though we met when we were only 19, 33 years later of being together, I still realize I married way up!!!
Likewise on who is smarter. She stuck around this long so how smart can she be. Lol

personally i think that's about the coolest thing a car company's done in a long time. wimbeldon white is pretty dang special.

Yeah, the Wimbledon White GT350 HE was so striking when we saw it… as you can see in my gallery that’s definitely her car.

She liked the Performance Blue on my GT350R, but for some reason it just doesn’t stand out as much as the Wimbledon White HE edition.

Now she’s in love with my GT500 HE almost as much as her 350 HE… gotta hide the keys from her lol.

Damn, my wife must be really dumb - she’s hot, she’s nine years younger than me, she waited 22 years for me to marry her, I don’t get nagged (much lol), I don’t have a huge amount of spare money and I only drive a GT …

Anyhow, back on topic. I got to have a look around a housewife blue 500 when I was in the states and I agree, it is a very nice colour.

I have a bit of a soft spot for it as one of my growing up ‘got to own one at some point’ cars came in that colour, but under a different name (moonstone)

Sadly that ‘got to own it at some point’ isn’t going to become a reality and I should have committed years ago - 20k new in 1987 is now between 200k and 600k for a good one …

Perhaps I should sell the house ‘you can’t race your house but you can sleep in your car’
