Default Colours Ford should bring Back

In response to the other thread about Colours being available atm, let's see what colours we think should be returned to the range now. Keep in mind this is only colours that have previously existed on any Falcon model, not just BA.

I for one think Sparkling Burgundy (commonly seen on EL Fairmonts etc) would look great on a BA sedan. That maroon they have on them now is just too flat and boring.

I'd also like to see Phantom (BA range) return.

Sparkling Burgundy looked awesome on my boyfriend's car. (AUI Ghia)

It would look great on a Fairmont or Ghia.

Yes indeed. They can't stop it fading however. That's up to you.
Would be nice if ford invested in PPG ceramiclear paints which are many coats of base coat and then ceramic clear coat. Better than PPG 2K baked enamel as it's much harder to scratch the paint and I believe resists oxidation better as well.

We have a Sparkling Burgundy AU Fairmont with Tickford wheels and body kit. Lovely looking when clean!

Also, bring back Sandstorm! Was a limited edition colour on the AUII (maybe I as well, not sure). Who cares if it was a special colour, so was Blueprint, once upon a time...
