I Need an Oppinion[Morning Repost]

"K-Roll-PorscheTamer" (k-roll390)
12/04/2014 at 11:10 • Filed to: Color Match, Mustang

I've recently determined my three favorite S550 colors. When I got my FoST, I couldn't decide on a color so I had you all vote for which color I got. I'm gonna try things differently this time. so I'm going to write things down below, and I want you to tell me what color you all think matches me. I think this should be fun!

If you already commented on a color below, if you'd be so kind as to leave a vote pls.

(All photos from mustang6g.com)

My top three colors are Oxford White, Guard Metallic, and Competition Orange. And I don't know where in my head I went looney, but the first thing that came to mind with these colors, was the Aston Martin Vanquish.

Anyways, in terms of these three colors, I want the one that is the most "exotic" and "European". The one that stands out like a Lamborghini, but is elegant and mature without saying "hey lookat me with my big laser guns". It must have the a presence of "fun" and "adventurous", with a hint of classiness.

The I want the color that is most different than any color car at my house; that means two red Porsches, two silver cars(an Explorer and a Magnum), and my blue FoST. And lastly, a color that simply will not get older; and if it does I'd like the color that ages slower than the rest.

So, which color do you think matches ME! And if you think it's none of these, then which color on the S550 matches me?

If you're willing to clean it fairly often, I would say go with the Oxford White. It looks terrific in my opinion.

Did our conversation get you thinking about Astons?

I honestly think it looks amazing in white. And I think white is always gonna look elegant on a car after orange and green-ish grey start to look tacky.

Plus a white car with black wheels is just... oof.

Martini Livery! But for reals tho, i'm not sure. They all look good. I can't choose this quickly. I'd have to really think about it

Guard metalic. I personally hate white cars (save a select few) and while I think the orange is cool it looks like it would be a total cop magnet. Knowing how you like to wind things out a bit, maybe a subtler color isn't such a bad idea ;)

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > ly2v8-Brian

Now, why do you think that?

Because?

ly2v8-Brian > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/03/2014 at 23:47

Because it is a bold, brash even color. Good for muscle cars.

Michael Maguire > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/03/2014 at 23:53

Guard. It's sexy and sophisticated. It will look great, won't stand out like crazy, but will be appreciated by many. It won't show dirt as bad so you won't be killing yourself to keep it clean and it is unique! Checks all the boxes IMO.

P.S. It is the color I personally would go with.

I think white fits you and the criteria best

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

There's a reason the boldest color in my driveway is blue. Neutral looks better longer. I see my mom's black Vue and think "Wow that still looks really good even after 6 years" then I see a burnt orange one and think "Dear god that thing didn't age well"

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Michael Maguire

12/03/2014 at 23:56

That makes perfect sense! And seeing as I think about the future way more than I should at times, that's right on the dot!

As I said in our PM conversation on 6G, CO or guard. Those colors stand out since they aren't the usual you see. They're pretty unique to the Mustang. I guess it depends on if you want a classy color or something a bit bolder. Orange can look classy though. Just know the orange might be a bit of a cop magnet.

And now I have a strong desire for a Vanquish now, thanks.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/03/2014 at 23:57

Because it stands out. Unlike most Mustang's, if I saw it, I might actually notice it amongst the sea of white and grey ones.

CAcoalminer > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/03/2014 at 23:57

That's great. Then I'm definitely endorsing Oxford White.

Haha. I thought so.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/03/2014 at 23:58

No matter which color you pick though, no stripes. This generation of 'Stang is too mature for those.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
12/04/2014 at 00:01

Reason being in relation to me?

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

No Just best color.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > 03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST
12/04/2014 at 00:04

Everyone should have a desire for a Vanquish! I saw my first one in April in white and I was smitten by it's beauty!

Back on track, having a Mustang might be enough of a magnet, so going with the most subdued colors that fit my criteria would probably be best. I take it guard would be that color then.

This is fun!

But they are kinda similar in some very minute and weird ways aren't they?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:05

I dunno. Maybe orange will not show dirt better?

SmoresTM Has No Chill (O==[][]==O) > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:06

Yeah, but I'm right because reasons!

Kinja'd!!!

Also that's what color I would chose if I was getting a Mustang. It's by far my favorite color for the new 'Stang that they offer.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
12/04/2014 at 00:07

I can't ever rock stripes on any car!

Except maybe a Challenger....

Fair enough. :p

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Vicente Esteve

It kinda is though isn't it?

CAcoalminer > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:12

They are indeed. However, the white just has a classiness about it. The orange is nice but it's a bit bright and out there. The guard, to me at least, looks terrific in some lights but odd in others. So, I going to have to stick with Oxford White. I feel like it will get attention but only because it's beautiful not outrageous.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:20

The Challenger is the only car that gets a pass. It almost looks wrong without them.

ly2v8-Brian > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:21

Only your opinion truly matters in the end on this subject.

03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:21

I don't get to see Vanquish' often. Which is a shame because they're so beautiful!

And ya, Mustang's are generally cop magnets. But I guarantee a brighter color would mean more attention. Having a bright, loud yellow Mustang has definitely taught me this. Not to mention a brighter color might make it look like you're going faster. My sister says it looks like I'm speeding through the school zone when I drop her off but I religiously follow the 20MPH speed limit through there. However that changes the minute I cross the white line out of it!

Kinja'd!!!

This is the Gold Coast! I go to that dealership all the time to window shop. No other place has more exotic cars in the same place at the same time than here. Well, outside of Dubai at least...

Kaizer Soze > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:24

I say green, it fits what you want. Reserved but bold. There aren't many green cars out there so it's unique too.

Orange looks good on it too but I feel like that is the obvious shouty color thatmany other mustangs that park next to you will have.

I personally hate white cars except on a Countach, because cocaine. It's always dirty and is getting as common as silver.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
12/04/2014 at 00:24

It's more of a sin really.

Seriously, you're doing it wrong if it has no stripes.

well, which of these looks best in person, to you?

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Kaizer Soze
12/04/2014 at 00:30

Mmmmm cocaine....

Wait wuh? I mean. Yes, the 80s! I think reserved and bold is what I'm after. Cocaine is dirty money, and I must be as discreet as possible.

BrownMiataDieselWagon > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:32

Haha no, I wish! Still in Chicago. I meant other than Dubai, there's no other place with as many exotic cars as the Gold Coast dealership in Chicago. But whenever I go to that dealership, it feels like I'm in Dubai!

12/04/2014 at 00:33

Here's my pic of the Vanquish! And since I'm a high-revving noise person, I reckon I need to be colorful and stealthy at the same time huh. :p

Conan > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:33

Guard. If you maintain it with the care and enthusiasm you have it will stay cool in the same way a BRG car stays cool. It thus has a Euro touch, while at the same time being elegant and mature, and if Indiana Jones drove a Mustang, he'd drive a Guard one, so you've got adventure and, as I said, if you care for it it won't age. That is unless you decide to change it for something else in two years.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > CAcoalminer
12/04/2014 at 00:34

Guard is such a weird color isn't it? What they did, was they have a grey base coat, and a pearlescent green coat on top of it.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > ly2v8-Brian
12/04/2014 at 00:36

They all look best to me! And they're all colors I've never really had or experienced before, so they're all new to me. Do I need to flip a coin or some three-sided die?

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > BrownMiataDieselWagon
12/04/2014 at 00:37

That sounds like a worthy trip to see a dealer all the way from the Detroit area. :p

Do you have any pictures from your window shopping?

CAcoalminer > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:38

It really is.

That is really interesting about how the two different colored coats are applied on top of each other. I wonder how that works because logic tells me only the top color would show.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Conan
12/04/2014 at 00:39

This will be the car to end all cars for me, so whichever one I pick, I'm stuck with FOREVER!

I actually intend to make this one last more than a year. another tally for Guard!

BrownMiataDieselWagon > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:39

Also, this is a typical day of test drives at the dealership:

It sucks being reminded that I'm not rich, but getting to see the cars is worth it.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > CAcoalminer

12/04/2014 at 00:44

It looks so good! I love that the new Mustang took some inspiration from it.

I feel like guard is a good mix, it's green, classy, somewhat stealthy, unique and is supposed to be a stunning color. It's a metallic to! I would love to have one in that color.

CAcoalminer > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:45

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
12/04/2014 at 00:48

White. I might be biased, but if the car looks that part, it doesn't need color. Ugly cars hide behind colors, but adding color to some can take some of the beauty away. I'm not calling the new mustang beautiful, but I really love the looks. And white is pure and kinda represents refinement.

The green is the wrong shade (too dark) and doesn't do anything for the car. And the orange, sure it looks cool, but it's like painting flames on a 57 chevy. Not necessary, ant takes away from the car.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > 03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST
12/04/2014 at 00:51

So I'm not the only one who thought that then! :D

Also, I figure you'd appreciate this as well, because it was at the same place the Vanquish was.
