    I figured to kill some time I'd start on bodywork. At first I was thinking a dark grey kinda to go with the newer mustangs but now I'm not sure. I'm wondering if white would look better but not sure with the chrome trim. Looking for opinions guys.... shoot 'em this way.

    I like it the way it is too. My car was just like that for a long time. Primered and one fender was left with old paint showing with the grabber stripes so the body shop would know what to do. I saw primer the whole thing and seal it or clear coat it to make it permanent. I want to try this one day. I love primer.
