I feel better now!!! I'm not the only one that can't decide. That probably doesn't help you at all....however, I originally wanted silver, because 18 years ago, no one had silver, or very few were out there. Blue was everywhere.
I was thinking silver because it was different. Now 2012, silver is every where as much as blue for example, why? not sure except there's a gazillion more cobras out there today compared to 18 years ago.
So...to be different does'nt apply anymore ( in stock or vintage correct colors so to speak) because they are everywhere.
Now I'm actually considering going with blue. The first cobra car I fell in love with was an ERA, midnight blue, pure white stripes, black roll bar and side pipes, it was stunning but everyone had blue. 18 yrs later, who cares what everyone else has, I really like the blue.
My only hesitation is my Dad wants it silver. I have about 3 months before I have to decide.
Wow, this probably confused you more, sorry.

My first cobra I built was Blue/white stripes then a light blue cobra with orange stripes (Gulf oil) racer. This car is going to be dark BRG which is heading towards black and will show the dirt and marks more than a light color. There is something about a wolf in sheeps clothing if you can call a cobra that as I want to downplay the race type engine etc with straight old classic color.

Light colors handle sun better, I did think of white with blue stripes which would be the only light color I would contemplate....
