Time for fresh paint.
Not sure if I'm headed Silver/Black (stock GTS) or maybe just Black

Silver and black just looks classy!

+1 An outstanding combination. Black is beautiful, but having owned 2 black cars, I'll never own another. Just a few things to consider...
They're near impossible to keep clean as they show a patina of dust within 15 minutes of detailing. And every speck of dirt or dust is visible on a black car, as well as any panel imperfection. And don't get me started on how hot the car gets if parked in the sun for ANY length of time; is your AC up to the task?!

I've heard it said since I was a kid, if you own a black car you'll never own a second one.
Honestly I know one guy who has owned two ... but the second one was a very rare car (1989 BMW M6), he didn't really have a choice in color.
I'm a glutton for punishment, I've owned 4 black cars over the years.
They all looked great for about an hour after being washed/waxed, then the dust settles on it and it's all over. For those 60 minutes nothing else looks as good, but after that, not so much.

I always start looking for another color but just can't say no to a black sports car. Black and chrome is your best choice. although I'm a bit biased...
I've owned 2 black Pantera's. Thats the only colour for a sports car, IMHO. Its worth the extra effort.
I'm with Will. When I repainted it was "BACK IN BLACK"
red ? 
I like the black metallics like Honda uses. It looks like straight black until you get right up on it, then instead of seeing imperfections like swirls etc, you get the flake in the face!
It's a real GTS and I'm going back to the stock Silver/Black
Good choice!! Are you using the original paint codes?
Cheers, Tim.

Ford Ingot Silver. Same as they are using on the new mustangs. I think it looks perfect. A good modern update I believe.
Looking real good. Can't wait to see it finished,
Cheers, Tim.

Beautiful color combination. My no 2 pantera is a '72 euro GTS that came from the factory in that silver/Black. I intend to bring it back to that some day.
