I can't believe how long I've been debating the colors and type of over the top stripes for my Oxford White GT. But its scheduled to go in on the 20th.
I still haven't decided on red or blue. I spent months looking at various reds and blues and tracking down actual cars painted that color because you can't trust internet pictures. I know which of each I would go with but still on the fence between them. May just have to toss a coin or use this poll. Red would be Ford Race Red and Blue would be GM Luxo blue. There were some shades I like a LITTLE better based on color samples but those weren't factory colors so compromised to be able to use off the shelf touch up if ever needed.
Side mirror caps will be the same color as the stripes.
Not sure how my Redline interior factors in.
Most here know Race Red.
Luxo Blue is a medium/dark blue. Its metallic, but just barely. DIB and Kona were too dark and Kona is WAY too metalic for my taste which is mostly for non-metallics. Recent Ford blues are just too light, too dark and/or too metalic for my taste for stripes on a while car..
Also looking for ideas for stencils in the stripes. Don't want anything that future stripe loving buyers would be turned off by.
Also thinking about having the GT350R strut tower brace painted Oxford White. They are painting my CDC Outlaw spoiler OW at the same time they are painting the stripes so should be cheap to get the brace shot.
