Title Says it all, its currently Red but is a tad faded and needs a paintjob I'm trying to avoid painting it red for the kinda generic feeling that comes with the color. I also dont really wanna paint it White/Grey/Black.

Throw some suggestions my way :)


***Edit***

Ok this is it.

It's down to This color green

or

Factory original Poppy Red

I'm catching alot of flack from my dad (car enthusiast) and all the other car people around my neck of the woods, but IDK that Poppy Red isnt red at all its this weird orangish color and it doesnt seem to be doing it for me.

That green on the other hand is very purrrrrrrty.

I've always liked silver. You don't see too many older 'stangs that color.

The coolest color I saw was a REALLY deep red, from one angle it looked pretty bright red but at another it was almost black. If not that, i could never resist a highgloss black though silver would be nice.

I like the look of a dark blue, and a dark green looks really nice on some cars but I don't think it would look to good on a mustang...
