Default Paint color
About yellow....yellow is a hugh bug magnet. When you park a yellow car at a show or cruisin...after a few minutes the bugs start to crawl all over it. At least thats the way it is here in the midwest.

Someone mentioned white with blue stripe. You don't see many that way, but the ones I have seen really look stunning.

I think the original Shelby Team color was Portofino Blue. You don't see many with that specific blue paint. It looks great though.

Mine is Blue Blood Red (SG 105) w/white stripe. The red is the brightest red I have seen. People are always commentiing and asking what color it is.

If I was doing another, it would probably be the Portifino Blue, of course I am an old fart and pretty much a traditionalist.

Take you time, paint is expensive...Bob
