I'd probably go with blue with stripes or silver with stripes. Pick the one you like, it's your car.

I asked for a color comment not a comment like that. I could give you a real bronx cheer. Does that comment make you feel more like a man. If you don't like my posts when you see my name don't read them. I am just having a hard time picking a color and want opinions. If I knew what I wanted I wouldn't be asking.

Ive always wanted a Silver car but I like the depth of blue. Right now I have a White 1992 Mustang with 21k original miles that I dont drive.

This one looks nice also but I wish it looked like that in person.

Meaning the color in person compared to this internet pic. Don't quite get what you mean about perfect solution? Have seen Mini's in this color at the dealer.

But just stumbled on this ebay listing of a CM with a ton of pics in this color.

I just never understand how you base a $30,000 purchase on others people's opinions. Pick what you like. If you don't know what you like, and I say 'blue", how does that help you?

Good luck.

Well after 22 cars in the past 10 years I really don't care about a $30,000 purchase. I just sold a Shelby GT500KR which stickered for $87,000 for $55,250 on Ebay and I'm not basing it on other people's opinion, I'm asking there opinion. Isn't that what this forum is all about...opinions! That being said..Thank you for your color opinion, that's what I asked from the start, just your color opinion. Not your opinion that you feel threatened that I'm wasting "MY" money on other people's opinion! Who are you to worry about my money. Unfortunately I've never kept a car more than year anyway.

9 of your past 16 Mustangs! I bet that isn't a phrase many will ever utter. How many Mustangs have there been in all?

I think which colors look best also has a lot to do with your local weather -- I mean if it is overcast a lot, lots of rain, a brighter color might be nice, since grays and silvers look pretty drab under those lighting conditions. In sunny Southern California, grays and silvers really come to life under the blue skies.

For example, I always found a Sparkling Silver MINI in bright sunlight to look stunning, but when it's overcast it looks pretty gloomy.

I think we beat this "dead horse question enough" you seem to be always leaning towards the new blue for some reason. I guess all this input has helped one way or another and helped you decide that you like blue. And the winner is ( insert drumroll)................ Blue with the black top...!!!!!! and now for the next set of question... To stripe or not to strip? Tint or no tint? and the wheels, there is a whole new can of worms, and lets not get started with the interior. At any rate this build will be a collaboration and in the end hopefully meets your expectations...

I thought I liked the white till I saw blue...I don't really care for the silver.

That being said my last mini was blue and this time I went with white.

Maybe go with the white since you've had so many blue cars.

I have a Cosmic Blue with white roof. Only problem with that is keeping up with detailing it. Shows every swirl. But...I think it's an elegant looking color. Mine has no stripes. I toyed with getting them as some cars need them (such as white) but it's a nice look on the Cosmic without them.
