    I could only vote once? Or did I miss something?
    I have a white one, and a green one.

    currently black with a black vynil top. Want to paint it dark blue with black vynil top.

    BTW, anyone have the link to that Mav that has that great mango color paint job? I love that thing.

    Original, but faded, two-tone Blue Glow Metallic over white w/white vinyl roof...

    ...and two different colors of primer - one for each rear quarter...

    mines dark blue but i just had to mark brown as well, because you can see the brown primer/undercoat/whatever everywhere on the car. my dad put some buffing compound on a spot of the blue, and it buffed out a real nice metallic blue.
    So i guess that makes me crazy then, too. I didn't paint it, but i like it blue.:jumping::coco:

    well, it let me pick 2 colors at once, so i did. :) if only i could have found a less "abrasive" way to get the tape off, i might still have a blue maverick instead of blue and mud brown. and duck tape gray with black tape stripes wasn't so bad either. as you can see by my profile pic.

    My '74 is painted 1979 Ford "Bright Blue". When I get the '73 finished I am leaning toward Ford " Blazing Copper Metallic".

    I'd imagine many of them are flat black/primer... I've only seen a couple with gloss black paint.

    Now I'll let ya'll in on the secret behind this poll..... I have a color in mind for my car, and I wanted to see how popular that color was on Mavericks. I am surprized so far.....this color is more popular than I thought, even though you don't see but just a few pics of Mavs that color, it's in the top three or four colors. I'm also wondering about the high number of some colors like black and purple, but you almost never see one? Oh, it's not black, purple, or the golden brown that's on it now. I've decided to go another route......
