So in December I'll be repainting my Bird. Trying to decide if I should keep it the same color and have a black pinstripe the same size as my current stripes. The other color I really dig is Medium Quasar Blue. They stopped using it in 97 on F-bodies and I honestly can't see why. If I go with that then I'm thinking get another silver pinstripe down the side like what I currently have.

MQB:

I've always liked that old blue, I vote change to blue if you're repainting it anyways.

Kinda what I was thinking. A friend though reccomended going with a more metallic version of my current color also, but I think it'd either look really awesome or just too over the top. With the blue I oculd add an exterior mod and still not push it overt he top.

Yeah my mind has been made, MQB it is. Thanks for the help guys. After the paint job SLP CAI and SS Cragars (or knockoffs ) shall be next.

I like the blue better, but I think i'd like to have more metallic in it. If I personally repainted my car, I have no doubt in my mind what color it would be, SOM (Sunset Orange Metallic) is by far my favorite on an Fbody.

If I had to repaint mine, I would have to choose that Electron blue from the C5 Zo6's, that was a sweet ass color IMO.

Well if you do go blue, you better have them paint the door sills and the underside of the hood.
