FlyinLow,
I think you have the best looking TA. The thing that sets it apart is its simplicty. It is the perfect blend of seriousness, yet kewl. If you change the color to that blue, I think you will lose some of that simplicty.
Stay with the paint you job you have now!

If thats what you really wanna do I'm not gonna try to talk you out of it. But its one of my favorite looking cars as it is, why change it? It already looks killer. :hail:

I really dig that color....and the way I see it, it's already got aftermarket rims on it so why does the color HAVE TO BE stock? Unless you want your car to remain as stock as possible & YOU like the color, then go for it! You're the one who'll be looking at it every day, not all of us.

well honestly i think that blue is a kick *** color!!! your car would look very sweet that shade of blue. what better way to turn your already beautiful car into an eye- grabbing work of art -- then to paint it a very good looking color that you don't see on the tons of other 3rd gens. your car is going to look good in just about any color. ohh and BTW i agree that the alien green would look cool 2. after i saw what your car would have looked like that color -- i tried to convience my b/f to paint his 88 GTA that green but he already painted it yellow so there went that idea.

I love the current color of your car...
However, if you're dead-set on a change... I'd suggest black or red, I can picture your car with each of those colors... lookin' pretty bad ***.
Do what ya like though

Dude who cares if <font color=blue>f</font>ord chose it first. If any one says something just tell then hey look the color came way before <font color=blue>f</font>ord ever did.
heh heh... the <font color=blue>f</font> is lower case LOL!

I'll give you that black is a stock lookin' color, but red? There are a million different shades of red that look gorgeous and AREN'T stock...
If you're set on a candy paint-job (ie Atlantic Blue or Alien Green), I'd roll with the blue, but do whatever.

Its easy. theres different methods. All I do is use the selector tool, make a boz around the whole car. Then I go to "Image" then to "adjestments" then to "Color Balance" and play with the colour in there. (if at first the color is to pail, keep going back to Color balance and keep doing it until the color is dark enough. Then after the color is reached, use the history brush and go over everything but the stuff you want coloured. It may sound kinda complicated but its really easy. If you still got problems, jus email me
