Default Looking for a repaint [any suggestions?]

Hey guys,

I got myself a 2.3l convertible mustang and it looks like the clear coat on the hood is going, getting all blotchy [from the sun im assuming].

Current Color: Ford blue with a dark blue convertible top.

Any suggestion on a color schematic? If the rag top was black I'd go with black, but since the top is dark blue that would stick out like a sore thumb

Don't get my wrong I love the ford blue, its nice, maybe I'll just go with it again, just redone. Not sure, tell me ur ideas!!

Have you seen the 2010 mustang color "grabber blue"? It is kind of a love it or hate it color... I kinda like it (not as much as the vista blue) and it would be unique for an older mustang...

I'm going with a two-tone for my coupe. But if I had a vert, I would try to match the top to the body.

Bluey color? Never heard of that! Maybe a blooey color would work?
