    Need opinions on these colors

    This is a test panel I painted to see what the colors would look like. I tried to match the color of what I imagined root beer looks like. Im debating on painting my 86 Mustang these colors. I think the color would look awesome all buffed and polished. Whats ya'lls opinions? Yay or nay? TIA

    I like the color myself, it's a very warm color. I wouldn't paint anything I owned that color as I'm not into browns that much. Picking a color is a very personal decision.

    If not Rootbeer Brown, what other colors are you considering for the Mustang?

    Is this a daily driver or a show car or a race car?

    Its going to be a show car. I thought maybe the brown would stand out in a crowd

    Get a cold soda or warm cup of coffee and scroll through the pages in the links below as there are hundreds of pictures of cars from SEMA this year with some amazing colors that stand out in the crowd.

    Here's a 1936 Auburn Boat-tail Speedster that was a very rich, rootbeer brown metallic color. While the paint and the car were works of art, I don't think the color made it stand out in the crowd. That's just my 2 cents.

    Yeah that's what I think I might do. A true candy apple red. I'm not sure on flames though. I think just a good color on it would look good
