I said Comp, even though it's an evil ford color grabs my attention more then hugger, hugger looks outdated. Have you looked at the newer hugger color from the 4th gens?

It goes both ways. One of my friends is a die hard ford guy and when he found out the color he was painting his '89 GT was "vette blue" me and another friend laughed our a@@'s off at him Personally, I'd go with hugger. I've always had a thing for it.

Mix the two and see what happens. I like em both. Id mix a little bit and if its nice then youd have a unique color.

Competition orange is also called "watermelon" in my crayola box.

Hugger owns.
