red/blue
 
Blykins,

Our Shop has painted many 4000 series cars. The dealer we paint for does most of his in red. The rangoon red. When we first painted a viking blue car, I thought how cute, until we assembled the car. The Blue, HANDS DOWN!! That is one great unusual Color. If you still need the ppg codes let me know.

Viking(princess) blue-as shipped from AC on the original

Would've gone with it on mine but every other Cobra seems to be some variation of blue or red w/wo stripes

Wimbledon white with blue stripes and roundals:D

Well....that ends that I guess.

The Viking Blues have it...

VB - 11
RR - 1

Meeting adjourned. :)

Thanks for all your input guys.

Chuck: Thanks for your offer. I'm pretty sure I have the correct PPG code, though. It turned out to be an offset code.

Thanks again to all. Viking Blue it will be.

Now for resale I think red will sell a car better than any saleman. But as a purist Princess blue wins hands down. I'm sorry did I say Princess Blue? I mean Viking Blue! :)

Man the oars! The VB is a great color.....

excelguru 05-31-2003 06:23 PM

C'mon... be different! Make it RR! (Then again, my opinion could be somewhat biased. :D )

xlr8or 05-31-2003 10:04 PM

Paint it black!


My vote is for RR.

Saw a beautiful silver example last week, gorgeous! It had ghosted black stripes, very subtle.

As for a red car check this combination out. Not the best shot to show the colour but you get the idea, nice colour coordination with the stripes I thought.

PS, no the steering wheel is not on the wrong side! :eek:

Thanks for all your input and opinions guys. You guys are a lot of help. I think I have decided on Viking Blue though. I love the look.

That's a nice look up above Paul. However, I would avoid that car like the plague. The distributor is in the wrong place and the valve covers are rectangular. :)

Are you really sure you have it narrowed down to Viking Blue?

Ok, if your sure, I vote Viking Blue!

G.R. 06-01-2003 02:55 PM

Now that is a nice color--:3DSMILE:



What is the name?

red... the hard core cobra folks may like the blue better.. but I bet you get more looks from the other 99% of the folks out there

WE had a rangoon 64 Galaxie 500 xl in high school It had no orange cast at all and was a great color. I think some of these posts are confusing rangoon red with poppy red.
I'm going to paint mine Poppy Red ppg 60449 just to be different. So I vote on rangoon red for yours.

RED

I have a unique perspective. My car was originally painted porsche gaurds red with no stripe. The car looked great in red and alot different than 9 out of 10 other cobras. I absolutely hated that every car you saw was blue with white stripes. I just repainted my car................. Blue with silver stripes. Pick what makes you happy. I cant really decide which color looks better on mine. They both look great.:)

George's "Carnival Red" is a GREAT color!

Mr.Fixit 06-02-2003 04:35 PM

Why are almost all of them blue or red? I had a red 69 camaro, looked awesome, but I had to leave a sweatshirt sitting on the seat at carshows so I could pick out which red camaro was mine. There is a world of colors out there, don't be afraid to pick one that is not in the most poular three, it will look nice.
