Colour choice

I've been all over the place with my Mustangs. Well, guess I have a thing for Grey and Comp Orange mostly. Unless you want to upgrade for other reasons, wrap it. ;)

There are colors I won't take, colors I want, and colors I will take In the options I have to have.If I get a better deal on a color I will take over a color I want, then I'll take the better deal and live with it.

I prefer 303 Aerospace, it does the same thing but is much cheaper.

what colors won’t you take?

First, I won't take black. I've had 3 black cars, 2 without AC, and one with. They look great when clean, but they will not stay clean past the day you cleaned it. If you don't have AC, it's miserable hot in the summer.
Second, loud unconventional colors like "Gotta Have It Green", AKA "Baby Shit Green", Then there was a green that I called garden hose green. I also don't like orange, and purple (not that purple was ever an option, I just don't like purple). There are probably a few others, but you get the idea.

Black isn't a color, it's a full-time job.

Exactly. It's hot too.

Black isn’t my first choice but it’s usually always on the lot so I take it. Loud colors I tend to pass up also especially for a daily. I’m more of a dark gray or white or possibly even a dark blue on a rare occasion. The Dark Blue mustangs don’t look black, however my two top colors were either white or magnetic gray and both were available I took the white though with the Black PP1 package.

Black is meant for people who can store it in a garage. Wash it weekly and not drive it much, avoid rain/snow days.

I'll never buy a black daily driver. White all the way! Or maybe a silver variant. But when black is clean and mirror finish its my favorite color for many cars.

True, and it's a catch-22. Black cars look the best, but get dirty as hell, it's a labor of love.

We're going to our cottage in an hour to put the boats in,and I might throw the cover on this garaged car as we'll be up there for 6 days and it will have an inch of dust on it when I get back.

black is best car for pre-painted aftermarket parts

the last black car i had was my 2003 mercedes E320 back in '06. never bought another black car after that, too much of a pain in the ass. i actually bought my first white car in 2014 when i bought my 2012 mustang gt, thinking it would stay clean. man was i wrong. i found myself cleaning it as much as the black car. bugs all over the front, dirty water splash all over the side every time i drove through a puddle, road grime kicking up on the rear, etc....now i have gray and i think in terms of looks and ease of maintenance, this is the best balance for me. i'm no longer filled with rage if i wash my car and then drive down a street flooded by sprinklers after...

Living in the high desert, I had ONE black car. And that was it. I loved how it looked when it was clean, but between the constant dust sticking to it and the endless battle with swirls, I refuse to do it anymore, lol. I thought I was ready, but that definitely wasn't the case. The temperatures in the sun would also soar into the 160's which is insane, I could almost cook food on the car. White is way cooler in comparison but it still gets hot.
