A Hi and a question.. - 9/29/2006 11:54:00 AM    zoey   Posts: 2 Joined: 9/29/2006 Status: offline Hi everyone, just joined. I'm going to be buying a 1994 3.8 convertible this afternoon. She's in great condition and only 64,000 miles on it! So I'm very excited, always wanted a Mustang. My question is the paint. The car is painted Iris Metallic. Not a very popular color for the car, think they only sold 1,300 then switched to a blue from what I can gather on the net. My boyfriend wants to paint it right away. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do or not, I mean the color isn't my fave but I could probably learn to love it. I seem to recall all my "car" dudes saying that it's not wise to repaint over the original color, but I forget why ..something to do with matching the inner door frame or something? ugh If we do paint it is there a color I should consider over another? It has a black top and grey interior. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Zoe Thumbnail Image Attachment (2) Post #: 1

Congrats! Are you going to keep it forever? Do you want to keep it original? Just a few questions will help you. IMHO, I would: 1. keep the car exterior original until I could afford a killer paint job... (last step)(thousands!!!) 2. put the money into the car in small, wise steps. 3. put rest of money into gas and drive that thing!!!!!! Welcome!!!! (in reply to zoey) Post #: 2

Why not save the $$$ and get some upgrades on. _____________________________ 06 GT, tint, appearance mods, 18X9 w/NT555 255/45/18, GTA Axlebacks, GT500 spoiler/pedals. Many interior billet upgrades.

If it was me I would want all the color changed to whatever you paint the body, everywhere. Imagine the amount of work involved. Too expensive. I agree with all of the above...buy some mods and drive it. Welcome to MF!!! _____________________________ Bish (in reply to pony girl 05) Post #: 6
