New Colors For 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#25
I was curious what the difference between Satin Silver and Metallic Silver would be. Metallic Silver (YN) has been on a lot of Fords including F-150s, Escapes, Explorers, and Mustangs.
Apparently 2003 Mustangs started the year with Satin Silver (99-02, 05-07 mustang color) and then they switched to Silver Metallic (03-04 mustang color).
Here's a couple of quotes comparing the 2.
Sounds like it will be very similiar to Satin Silver from a distance.

I have the silver metallic. Up close you can see the difference. From far away it looks the same.
yeah, the metalic has more metal flake in it, but its barely noticable from 10 feet

My Lightning is YN Silver Metallic. Pain in the *** to match the paint. Ford played around with the paint mix for the '04 Lightnings, stating it was an ALL NEW Silver Metallic as a specialty item for the last year they were going to make the L's. Just made it a little lighter, little closer to Frost but all the paint shops have the same old YN paint mixing codes, so every time I try and get a part painted for it, it looks darker than what's on the '04 stock.
Anyway... Silver Metallic has some Metallic in it, looks good on a truck. I've never really like the Satin Silver, just too plain and mellow looking. Not to mention Silver is the most popular color out there today. One of my neighbors just bought an '06 silver Accord, and the other an '06 Silver Altima, and go to any parking lot and look around, Silver EVERY WHERE!
Too bad, I like Silver.

Is there any rumors of a yellow in the Future?

BTW, I think I should be down at your club's show on September 3rd. I have a few fellow 05+ owners from BMC who may join me. Just have to check calenders and such.

More variations of silver, give us green! We already have enough silver variations. Seriously i wish they would just give us all the colors instead of spreading them out over the years, making us trade in our cars so we can get that certain color, but i suppose thats the idea.

I just got back from Detroit and the Woodward Dream Cruise. All of the informal talk I heard from various Mustang engineers suggest Tungsten Grey will not be available in 2008. Get 'em while they still make 'em!

We need BRIGHT Colors-
Oranges, Bright Blues(grabber) Yellows(but not screaming), Reds NOT made for family cars, Greens- the good kind. And perhaps some metallic colors as well.
And Retire Tungsten so I can have two retired color mustangs.
