Hi,
My EF is currently being resprayed and I'm at the stage where its sitting in primer and I cant decide which colour to paint it. The original colour is polynesian green and has a lot of dents and scratches. I was looking at somthing like the congo green on the AU's and a few BA's but I still want to keep the car looking dark when not in full sunlight. At first I was limiting my choices to only similar greens but now the car is getting a full respray (as in door sills, inside doors, inside boot, inside bonnet and most of the engine bay) then why not choose and awesome colour that suits the ef/el's and maybe one that hasn't been done yet. So if anyone has any suggestions of colours please help! Heres a picture of it originally. Note the rims and clear side indicator have been photoshopped.  Also heres a congo green AU. Thanks to whoever owns this car.  |

I've always thought Blood Orange would look amazing on a EL XR. Otherwise, I've seen a few AU T3s in green. I'm not sure what the colour is called, but they look bloody excellent.

id go for the darkest black you can find.
Black would look sik on a EF/EL XR, and Ford did not make them in Black so youd be the only one. However youd have to wash the car every second day, and dont scratch it as a scratch is near impossible to buff out of black cars. |

I'd paint it Heritage Green, but that's just me
 I reckon Panther Mica (VR-VS Calais/HSV) would look good on an EF/EL as well.

I like that minty green colour you find on XT falcons. Just my two cents. Probably not the best choice for a tuff looking car like yours.

Heres a few photoshops. I like the Phantom purple version the most. DeJaVu was also suggested, shown on the GT below.
