It's close though. The gray almost looks the same as the gray on mine when the sun hits it.

Looks great, I really like it.  The pinstripe was typically the interior color of the car.

I have to say,some quality (not bought at Autozone) red pin stripes would really look great.Thin ones. Maybe not blood red,but a mildly deeper shade. I love pin striping cars.Don't know why.


I had red ones on my T-bird before I got it painted. My car is the same color as Kitz Katz's and 50tbrd88's. Replaced them with the silver because I kinda like it better.

Here's a pic with the red ones:

Reminds me of my old 86, charcoal metallic gray or something like that.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

It's being a bitch about buffing though!

Some of you know I had an issue sanding and buffing the clear. I screwed up. So redo had to be done, this time it came out darker with more metallic in it, as was intended the first time. Same paint code to. so here is some new pics.
