MISCHIEVOUS PURPLE S550 MUSTANG Thread

[theruleslawyer]

I dig the color sample, oil slick describes it well. The full car pics look a little too purply for me. I think I'm getting eruption green pending more pics of real cars. I do like the idea of owning a rare color though.

I just can’t get into the 2018 front ends. The cars look like a catfish coming down the road.

what color is it? Are there any pics of Mischevious Purple?

He was kidding. It is MP.

And you are posting this in a Mischievous Purple thread why. There are four year old threads about the 18+ front ends that you can post in .

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how come it is not coming up as an available color with the California Special package?

If you look at the picture that has the rear driver's side aspect, look at the driver's side rear bumper "corner". There is a blue hue there, similar to the order guide sample.
I think with most modern dark metallics, a coat of wax, sealant or ceramic is required to give the clear coat a "wet" look, enhancing clarity of the clear and depth of the base/colour coat(s).

This colour, fully detailed, in the sun, will be a showstopper!

Ahh, so it'll only look like that in the sun. Yah, I've seen a few of those. I went and looked at a BMW in carbon blue and it was a similar story. Blue in really bright light and on the highlights, but black in flat light. So this will be purple with blue highlights. Still metallics are hard to do justice in pictures as they scintillate a lot.

I had a BMW "Individual" years ago. Colour was Azurite Black Metallic. Looked black most times, direct sun popped the blue flake, keeping a good coat of high quality sealant enhanced the finish.
As one moved around the car in sunlight, it shifted or phased the colour.
The Individual series was a select few colours, with 5 coats of clear, rather than BMW's standard 2 at the time.

I have a '22 GT on order in Mischievous Purple and I think it will look phenomenal.

That purple kind of seems like purple version of anitmatter blue...basically black except in direct sunlight where you can kind of see the hidden metallic color. Too subtle for me.

Kona was already purple enough

Not if you wanted purple 365 24/7

Reminds a lot of Dodge’s Helraisin purple which they originally called Black Eye.

Oil Slick is probably my second favorite '22 color.

@Twin Turbo where did you source the pics? I'm poking around seeing if anyone from that day posted a walk-around vid.

It was from the Mustang Owners Club of South East Michgan FB Group. Scroll down to 12th Nov for the various photos from the day......no video though
