Painting the Cobra

stang910 · Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 7:40 pm Post subject: Painting the Cobra

In a few months I plan on painting the cobra. The paint looks fine, but it's not up to my standards so I'm gonna disassemble the car and paint it like it needs to be.

I'm tossing around the idea of putting a custom paint job on it like a candy orange or tu-tone it some combination. I don't like doing stuff like that cause it'll de-value the car, but at the same time I could make the car look one of a kind. What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards keeping it sonic blue, but I'm not throwing out the idea of changing the color.

Can you keep it sonic blue, but still throw in a subtle color change? Like how you painted the Fox and the color change is hardly noticeable unless in the right light and at the right angle. I think the sonic blue with a hint of some dark metallic green would be cool. If it's doable.

I think a custom color would be best, not so much a two tone job, I think mabe 93' cobra teal green would be good color? Termi's look good as one solid color IMO

I'd say if your gonna do it, do somthing different. Nothing outragious, just a suttle change. If you do orange, I did a '67 Chevelle in HOK Tangello Orange with ghoste flames once and it came out AMAZEING!!!

I would keep it solid. And if you wanted to stay blue, Kona blue metallic looks awesome on the S197's. I can't imagine it would look bad on the
Termie.

The teal and atlantic blue look great! I seen a grabber blue convertible on svtperformance and it looked good also.

I really would hate to change the color of it, but since I'm gonna paint it anyways I'm leaving my options open.

Kona is the way to go! Look up Mediterranean Blue Metallic...also an awesome color! Looks like teal and atlantic blue had a baby! LOL It is a new color on the ford edge
