Velocity Blue vs. Magneyic Metallic

Magnetic is closing the gap. My money is on Magnetic for the win.

I just got a VB so pretty biased, but I will say this: it positively glows in the bright California sun. There's a really subtle color shift effect that is not captured well on camera. It looks different (better!) live, than in any picture I've seen. Also looks great at dusk. I could swear there is some green in that mix. Definitely not a basic blue.

These days there is so little color on the road. Velocity blue for sure.

I really am leaning towards Velocity Blue. Magnetic is my alternative.

Oh, seems like Magnetic is closing the gap! Blue should be -1 of what it is now btw

Nothing wrong with Magnetic and the ocean.

I'd hit the 2 largest volume dealers in your area near the end of any month. Tell each dealer that you are pricing cars between the 2 and you'll get a great deal.

Blue cars are the best. And they're a lot easier to find in a parking lot than yet another silver-gray car.

In a book on avoiding speeding tickets years ago, the author pointed out that grey and silver cars blend into the road and traffic better. Makes them less likely to stand out and be targeted.

Love blue but its a nice consolation prize for blending in.

I swore I would never own a gray car until I saw a Mustang in Magnetic on a sunny day. The Magnetic Metallic paint is incredible when polished.

I had to make the same decision. I went MagMetal but decided I still liked blue too so did this:

I disagree on scratches and imperfections. Blue shows more than MM.

I have Magnetic, and I had it ceramic coated when new. I clean it with a water blaster on low pressure, then dry it with microfibre towels using virtually no downward pressure on the paint. I have found this process cleans the car beautifully yet I hardly touch the surface.

I have my heart set on one of these colors. Problem is I love both colors equally and cannot decide which one to get.

What do you guys think about either of these colors? My favorite color is blue but I think the Mustang looks so badass in magnetic.

If it helps, I’m getting a Coupe with the Performance Package.

What do you guys recommend?

Pros and cons for who cares to read:
Blue hides scratches better and doesn’t heat up as much as the dark grey since I live in warm, sunny California. Also, blue better compliments the oceanside area where I live imo. But it shows dirt more easily and is not as easy a resale for when the time comes.

Grey hides dirtiness better. Magnetic also seems like the most sold/desirable color of 2019 Mustangs so an easy resale if needed. However, it shows scratches and swirls more easily and is more susceptible to peeling and attracts and traps heat more in a place like California, where I live.

I'd go Velocity Blue. Yes, Magnetic looks very nice, but there's a lot of gray vehicles out there.

I've seen Velocity Blue in person, and it looks killer especially in the sunlight. It reminds me of the old Bright Atlantic Blue.

I use Optimum No Rinse with a sponge and at least 3 MF Towels, working bottom then top to bottom switching them out as they get dirty. Same results.

I had the same dilema I loved how magnetic looked but my favorite color is orange. I decided on magnetic and after 4 years I think I would have rather gone with either competition orange or deep impact blue. Now I'm looking to order a twister orange 2020

Considering the colors, both look amazing. For me velocity is just a *bit* too light. But I'm sure id grow to love it. When my magnetic is clean, i really am impressed with the metallic flakes pop/sparkle. Nice without being too flashy.

I think it comes down to. Do you want your car to pop, and stand out? Or do you prefer to fly under the radar? Both cars will turn heads when noticed and clean. But that velocity is going to draw attention more easily i would think.

Edit. Magnetic isn't going to do you any favors as far as hiding dirt. Id think velocity would be just a bit better in that respect.
