Yep, on mine, the top half will be black and the bottom a dark grey. And a red pinstripe.

You could also try the 2-tone like on the later model stangs, where the body below and including the door strips were a different colour.

Definitely two-tone! I would suggest a navy or dark blue with a metallic flake and black with metallic flake. I think that would look awesome!

my style really isnt 2 tone , but as far as just a regular paintjob goes there was a new color for ford in 2008 called metalic alloy or something like that . its on my dads 427R and looks prettty good . i might go with that . you probaby havnt seen it before because his is one of 8 in the world but look it up and let me know what u think . thx all .

Alloy with black or silver stripes would look sweet!

flat black is always the way to go and for a lil more speed add some dark red racing strips

im actually painting my car at the moment and im going to paint it calypso green (teal ford just has to make it sound special) ive only seen it once in person and loved the color and it will always be noticed because you almost never see it.
