Is it wrong to change the exterior color of your Mach 1?
Hello I’m new to this forum and I haven’t really learned how to use it and I’ve been looking all over for this question but no luck. I bought a 2003 Mach 1 zinc yellow with 96,000 miles on it.it is pretty beat up and needs work. I will be taking it to the shop to do head work since previous owner overheated. But my question is it frowned upon other Mach 1 owners if I were to repaint the car to torch red?

Re: Is it wrong to change the exterior color of your Mach 1?
Honestly and IMO, I do not see a problem with painting it any color you want to, just don't take the shaker off. lol.
I've seen a few Mach's that have been done in different colors than factor and think they look great. I am just shocked that you would be picking a factory color to switch too. IMO I don't see a problem with it. ASh

Nope. Zinc isn’t a good color to begin with. Go ahead.
Pick your poison. |

Re: Is it wrong to change the exterior color of your Mach 1?
depends on who you ask, I say no. I agree with those above, wasn't impressed at all with ZY, pretty much anything is an improvement

Re: Is it wrong to change the exterior color of your Mach 1?
General two rules and only 1 has to apply.
Its ok to change the color if: 1. Its yellow or 2. Its your car. Make it the way you want it and enjoy it.
