A friend is looking at getting an FG XR6T Auto Falcon. He likes the car but he doesn’t like the standard colours that are available.
He is after a gloss black finish – with no metal flake, no pearl effects. Just plain old boring gloss black. The closest of the Ford standard colours is Silhouette (prestige colour an extra $400) it looks like a dark grey. How receptive are Ford to non standard colours? I understand that if you were a big client (e.g. Taxi companies or large corporate clients (100+ examples)) they might do special runs for you. But if you are just one piddly example what are your chances? Is there anyway his XR6T could go through the paint line get the Silhouette base color, skip the pearl and metallic sprays then get a clear top coat (which I assume all new Fords get)? Are the “effects” included in the base colour sprays these days? Any ideas fellas? I’ve seen Territory company cars for Tupperware and they were painted pink. How were they done? Are they a respray over an original white body?
