I reckon its awesome! To see it available as an everyday colour, and on a Falcon - I'm impressed!!!!
But agree with everyone else, gotta see it in the outdoors.

Shocking colour.
As long as they've still got Shockwave... all is well. Shockwave, Silhouette and Vixen... my favourite BA colours.

Definately a color to keep away from shopping centres. Would cost a fortune for small paint jobs.
Looks a treat despite the "showcar" paintwork, I take it BF models are now on sale. |

I personally love the colour and i think good on Ford for hanging there head out trying a new colour scheme. I dont think any other australian factory car have come out with a paint like that and im glad ford were the first to do (correct me if im wrong) They arent strapping on what other manufactures have done i reckon good on them!
Luv it |

Unlike a normal metallic colour. When we resprayed my old car, although we used only one tin of paint, because it was mixed four times, over the course of several days, the metallic pigments fell in different ways, and the car looked mismatched.

Would be my first choice, followed by Rapid. Looks great! Can't wait to see how it photographs on the different cameras at the show.

Because the FPV bumpers aren't painted on the production line so the paint match wouldn't be the best.
