Smile New Paint

I know everyone has their own opinion, and that's why I would love to have the opinions of those who own these beautiful cars. I want to repaint my 04 coupe due to the many scratches around the body. I'm not a big fan of red, which it currently is, and I really want either a flat gray or a shiny silver. But I can't decide which to go with. So I would like to know what all of you think would look better!

Do some research on flat colors. A quality flat job is not easy to obtain nor is it easy to care for.

White looks great on these cars. Flat white would probably look really good too. I know it's not one of your suggestions but im just stating another opinion.

Just make sure they paint the door jambs, under the hood, around the trunk or hatch. You dont want it to look funny when you open the door.

Carl, they sure do look good in red too. Pretty much any color you throw on these looks great! Better than Ford colors and faster looking too

Just a personal opinion but, I am not a big fan of the flat or semi gloss paints. Of your choices I would go with silver.

+1 on that sentiment.
You have to do the full Fubu on it or it looks like crap.
Black under the hood is the best look I think.

SSB and the red two tone.
If you paint more of the front end in a red and blend into the ssb would look great and you would not have to worry about painting under the hood for colors to match.
Imagination is your only limit.

I plan on a repaint this year but not wanting to redo the engine bay and door sills, etc, I'm sticking with the stock SSB. However, I may throw in a little flake to give it a little snap.

If I ever get time I thinking about repainting mine and adding some sunburst orange in a couple areas, I think the ssb and the copper color would look great with these lines, and I have always liked the sunburst orange.
