Favourite Ford Colour

[Cabbage]

This is the Sherwood Green colour as I remember it, its a bit darker than a couple of recent rebuilds that I've seen with this colour. This paint job may need a bit of buffing for you to truly appreciate it, can you guys see this on an XC ute with all the GS black outs?

[Cabbage]

This is the other colour I was looking at antique bronze

[BFZ Wagon]

I love the recent blue's used in the AU's and the BA/BF's.
Narooma Blue
Shockwave
Wish I could find a car in one of those colours. YUM.

[RedHotGT]

Everglade Green & Cobolt Blue - 1990's - 2000
Blueprint - Post 2000 (it was a real big thing remember??)

Old school GT colours??
Vermillion Fire, and Wild Violet for sure....

Rare colours that I like??
Surfer Orange (XY GT)
Bold Blue (XY GT)
Beige (1 only XY GT)

[xr6fa]

Mercury silver!!!!.

[RSgerry]

Blood Orange, Electric Orange, Burnt Orange, Vermillion Fire....bit of a theme. Also anything yellow. Dont know if you are going for a complete resto, but if you are lookinmg to do something different, have a look at other manufacturers colours. Mazda currently have some excellent colours in their range, Mitsubishi did a nice white with a hint of metallic through it, holden did a yellow called Absinth Yellow (I painted my RS that shade) and if you want bright, look at some of teh colours the bike manufacturers are using.

[XR6_190]

Blueprint, Narooma Blue, Cobalt blue, and Phantom, all great Ford colours.

Of the current range, I would have to say either Ego or Seduce.

My favorite colour is a BMW colour called Carbon Black. It is a dark dark blue almost black. Looks black in poor light. But that's irrelevant. Don't go black unless you are able to spend mega bucks getting it right. Nothing looks better than perfect black, nothing looks worse than imperfect black.

Being that you want to paint an XC Ute and you're considering Sherwood green, then there was also a steel blue released in XC which was similar shading and period correct. and woul look good. In warmer tones Walnut Glow was a metallic brown. but not with GS blackouts

Look up XC data and Fairlane LTD of the era.

Blueprint is a beautiful colour but not on an XC.

[Cabbage]

Yeah a steel blue/navy blue would look good. Ego seems popular, anyone got a photo??

I have seen this colour done and it is brilliant! I prefer the 70's colours, Mulberry, Wild Plum, Wild Violet .... and a few others. The only green is Lime Glaze on an XA GT. In new colours I like Ego or Silloutte.

If you want to see EGO, just look at the FG area and you will see heaps ..... especially in G6's

Yes true. Excellent colours. I had a BA ute in Silhouette. To a quick glance it is black, but the metallic fleck has blue & green in it. Only seen in the bright sun. A Brilliant colour.

If I bought a new one it would be in Ego.

auslanddau you have good taste.

That is way cool too. But don't go resto and paint it like this. If you do this, go the whole way. This paint deserves billet wheels etc. Looks like a cool F1 you have there Tonko.

I'm starting to feel your pain here. I'll have to get to this with the ZF one day..

[ieatsports_cars]

ego, cobolt blue, fantasy ,mercury silver, blueprint, dash, breeze, blood orange, mandarine, toxic, rapid, and that nice blue back in the day of the el's, sparkling burgandy,

[gemibabe]

[Benzilla]

I have two that I like, and neither are mentioned in this thread.

Period would have to be Code "K", TANGO


Current design, Fords Flare


And something that any ford fan would love (may not suit all models)
Pepper Grey (I thought long and hard about this with ghost strips)


Good luck picking!

What car is that orange from? Or is it custom?

[GlennBA]

Regency Red Ultimate fav. Looks great on EL XR too.

[falzoony]

^^^Very nice.
I'd say winter white, especcially on FPV's.
However Seduce would be my Fav.

Yep, love Blueprint!!! But I liked Acid Ruch too. When I had it. Heaps of people turned to look. Lots of comments too, most good... some not so.
