Repainting my car, Black or Green?
I'm repainting almost all of my Mustang anyway and I'm wondering... Currectly my car is black but Cypress Green Pearl has always been a favorite of mine (the color of my old GSR).
Tell me, do you think I should keep it black or Paint it Cypress Green?
Here it is currently...
I'm buying new bumpers, fenders, hood, spoiler, trunklid and it wouldn't be that much harder to take the doors off and paint everything, actually I'd kinda like to just to remove a few dings also (I have 2 dings)
But anyway, I know black is sleek and all but its extremely hard to keep clean and I like Cypress Green but I dont know if it would look right with that color or not.

Perhaps a different black, don't repaint it stock Mustang black, but find a black you like better...
Although I think the green would look nice too, it's hard to say.
In the end it's up to you.
And I thought you were gonna boost her?

Times change, I was goina boost it but now I really don't plan on it. I'm goina set it up more for road racing so I'm goina get suspension done first (Doing it mostly this winter) and then I'll do some engine work. Wont be turbo because a roots style Supercharger is more on the button.

does it HAVE to be black? Why not (if your going to paint it all anyway) go with something unique? This is a golden oppurtunity, take advantage of it. Some colors to think about
350z/NSX orange
SSBP (someone mentioned this already)
silverstone metallic
These are all just off the top of my head, but obviously its up to you and Im sure whatever you decide will be rockin'. If its between those the colors mentioned....BLACK!

Paint it "Bullit" green and add some chrome American Racing Torq-Thrust rims. Out of the two choices you posted though, I say leave it black but add some chrome Torq-Thrust rims
