    Nice! Looks like you know what you are doing!

    Now that the 2010/2011 Mustangs are available in two-stage Grabber blue ... you could just match the factory two stage base and clear codes. Is that what you did ???

    Yep, that's 2010 Mustang grabber blue, plus I had the paint store mix a little extra for the "just in case"

    Lookin great!
    I also put the 2010 grabber blue on mine this time. I like it. It's a couple of shades brighter. I didn't repaint my engine compartment yet and you can tell the difference with the hood open if you know what you're looking for. I don't plan on pulling the engine any time soon but when I do I'll repaint in there too.

    Looks great. Nice and straight looking. Aint it a pretty color to stare at???
    I'm kind of partial to it myself just like Ray is. LOL.
    My painter wasnt wild on this color till he sprayed it and we got it outside. He couldnt believe how much it flips shades for a solid color. Totally different color in the sun/shade.

    I've got pics. I'll post a thread soon and show what I've done. Nothing major...just better.
