I am thinking about a color change on the notch

[stangstevers]

I'm still tempted to finish the project (paint) before doing anything, it's not like foxes are getting cheaper and when I sell it, I want it to be a turn-key car with a real happy new owner and a happy wallet on my end and TBH... meh don't really feel like selling it anymore.

Personally I don't like black notchbacks. My choices would be:

Reef blue

Kona Blue

Titanium Grey

Nothing crazy as you can see. And the job would be properly done meaning it will look 100% factory. If I respray I will tear it down (no glass, no interior, no k-member)... anyway just thinking outloud.

Kona Blue would get my vote on this one.

[stangstevers]

It's my fav. modern Ford color to be sure!

I like the Titanium Frost, mines a little lighter the the one you posted https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190513/07a3d4bf7c393acedb30374b8252d919.jpg

Can't go wrong with Kona Blue. It will look AWESOME on a Fox Notch.

Do you know where your old coupe ended up?

Do you know where your old coupe ended up?Guy in Scarborough bought it, far as I know he still has it. Never see any pics posted of it on here or FB of it

[Laffs]

Have you considered accepting Calypso Green as your lord and savior?

Team Yellow

[True Blue]

Paint it either the original colour or one of the factory colours for the foxbody. White IMO looks damn sexy on a notch, also a couple of other great choices would be Calypso Green or Bimini Blue.

[stangstevers]

looks like black is a desired color too... I don't like it all that much, what sucks is I did all this detail work and black is just so boring. I like the clean crisp and straight frame rails but they don't show as nice in black lol call me crazy.

I don't think a color change will hurt the car as it's not stock anymore and it's not a rare 5,000 mile survivor car anyway.

Black done right is probably one of the most difficult and best colours - some other colours can also be a challenge but black done right will stand out...

[stangstevers]

yeah we talked about it... strip down to metal to start fresh... etching, primer, etc... thin layer of plastic, blocking, primer, base, clear, wet sand (I think that's the order?) Anyway tons of work for sure for a deep glass shine and straight sheet metal. Just aligning the body panels to be better than factory is a pain on these cars lol

[RedSN]

my biased opinion says black notch is the best notch,
but something like a modern Lava Red might look cool, it's almost black.

[stangstevers]

yeah I thought about a more modern Mercedes black like Obsidian Black metallic

There use to a notch similar to the colour you described i Shelburne and it was one of the nicest foxes I've every seen.

[Chinga]

I would go with a factory colour vs. a modern colour. To me the "newer" colours for the most part do not belong on a Fox and cheapen the look. With that being said it is your car but I also think potential buyers will have reservations about non stock colours.

[reggies]

How about Blue Onyx? A dark blue,almost black.

[stangstevers]

I think I'm back to black again... I'd like to pull the engine this weekend and start the next level OCD on the thing. But I still have fucking landscaping / decking to do :(

There was a notch around shelburne area that was painted 1975 mercury comet powder blue and it looked good
