The Cougar has an estimated date to get into the body shop. Now I just need to decide on what its going to get squirted with. Easiest would be Zinc Yellow. The color it will be if a color change is too much, slightly following what Scot was telling me to do...Zinc Yellow Mica. The latest color, and one that has been running around my head a lot lately is Volvo's Saffron. Nothing like bastardizing a Zn Cougar, but its already been totalled so its resale is shot.  I know its a sloppy photoshop and its actually a C2 not a Zn but who cares.

Technically Saffron Orange. It comes across as an orange/rust color.
Here is a real Saffron:

Hmmmm, kinda a burnt orange IIRC. I do think I have seen that color up close, and I do like it.

Keep the body the stock yellow to avoid respraying the door jambs and the engine bay. Then paint the hood, roof and trunk black or something.

When I talk to the paint shop about the mica I would have it mixed so it would be the same color that the car is currently. That would save me the expense of a complete color change. I could care about the color of the engine compartment because that can be changed (black) when/if I put the 3L () into the car.

just have them respray with the same color with mica in it - best of both worlds.
Then a nice clear and your set

Yup, that is basicly what has been done to my SVT (pearl added into the OEM color). No one has been able to tell it's been done without respraying the door jams, and I have some friends that are anal haters that'd point it out if they noticed it

That's pretty personal info you're sharing about them, Daymon. 
Jon, I say stick with the yellow. Just my personal preference.

Ha, I second guessed the wording I ended up using.... should'a known Jon, I'm in the same boat as you.... kinda. I'm debating respraying my car a totally different color or just work with what I've got. Are you preping for your paint work, or just throwing moola at it to get it done ASAP?
