Getting my paint job!
I have a neighbor/friend who works at a Mercedes-Benz shop as a professional painter,and I have finally persuaded him to paint my FD for $1500 (door jams/engine bay as well),but he will only paint it a different shade of blue for me since he doesn't want to go through the extra work of painting it a whole new color..So with that said,i'm asking for help in choosing a color.I know I will get a lot of "check the 3rd gen. pics sticky",and that's fine,but I am looking for the actual name or paint code of colors that you all think would like nice on the FD.I am thinking maybe more of a royal blue,but any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Midnight Blue looks good. If he works for Mercedes Benz, go to your local dealer and look at some of the blues on the lot. Mercedes and BMW have a few nice shades of blue this year.
You will always have people who do not like it but I am a fan of the stock Montego. Its a good color when its fresh or well taken care of.
