i have a sort of red 1995 gt, and the paint is in really bad condition, and i am lucky enough that some one is going to repaint it at no cost, so i was wonder what would be a good color for it, since i dont want to keep the red anymore

Why is someone painting it for free? I learned long ago that nothing is really free except momma's love. Changing colors ads cost and difficulty to a paint job.

If the person painting knows what they are doing great. But if not be warned. A faded factory paint job is better then a bad DIY job.

Make sure they are going to paint it another color fo free that intails alot more work (ie door jambs, hatch area, etc)

I will echo what everyone is saying about changing the color up...there is a lot more work involved in that than in re-spraying the same color.

That being said, Opal Frost :)

If he is a pro, I would say a pick nice charcoal color and if not just leave it the factory color till you have the money for a real paint job.

its going to be buffed down, they clear coat that is on there now is starting to chip off everywhere and is starting to chip away the paint too, so there are just massive sort of looks like sun spots of were the paint is starting to go away, so we are going to wipe down everything, then prime it up paint it, and then put a new clearcoat on it. so its not just going to get sprayed over what is already there what is there now is going to be taken off so we can start over, and since half of the paint and clearcoat is missing already it should take to long to sand/buff it down/off
