    Exterior paint ideas. Photoshopping welcome

    At some point, since I have oxidized paint, I'm considering having my Town Car repainted. I might just stay with the same color but is like some ideas from you mangs on what color would look great on it. It has a grey leather interior. If anyone would like to Photoshop a color on it, here's a few pics to use if you'd like to.

    Thanks mangs.

      Airbrush art with some psychedelic weird desert scene and a naked lady. Oh wait, sorry, lived in SoCal too long. I'd go with the same color it is currently. Classy and clean.

        I am thinking about having my 89' Wrapped the same color. the problem is the clear coat, can you just spot fix the oxidation?

          Get it painted the same color, but have them tape off racing stripes, and rock a set of oxidized clear coat/failing paint racing stripes!

            If you keep it the same color, you don't have to do the door jambs and insides of the doors. I plan on doing the same thing with my silver Town Car.

                Original paint or go for tu-tone. Dark blue on the top/light blue on the bottom.

                  Depending on where you live and how hot it is (CA is a mixed bag of climates) I would keep it light colored.

                  Heck, I like the stock color!

                        Meh... drive it. Beater gonna beat.

                        I like the tutone idea, but lighter color on top. For single colors, I've always liked the avacado green on the 79s and whatever dark red (burgundy) was used. The middle blues were always good to.

                          Here in Fresno, the lowest at night temperature I've seen was 28 and the highest summer temperature in the day was 117. A light color might be a good idea. I just have this affinity for dark highland green too lol.

                            I think dark mineral grey would look sharp. I know a similar color was on 98+ Panthers. Thoughts?

                              I was thinking this TC needs something dark at least a little bit like maybe two tone with the original color and the color on that Mustang.
