Also, here is the 1973 Cougar Convertible I painted October of 2008 using Rust-Oleum Safety Yellow and Gloss Black.

It's kind of neat seeing how the original Cougar ( which looked like a family-mobile ) turned into something way-more-sporty with just a color change. It changed the entire personality of the Cougar - in a good way

Thanks for the update.

I agree, when I first decided on painting it I wanted to do something that would be better at bringing out the body lines on this car and I think I accomplished that. I think the biggest difference was on the rear end appearance. I know some hard core Cougar fans don't like the idea of pained bumpers but on this model I think it improves the appearance.

Here is what an OEM bumper finish looks like on a '73 Cougar. I think it looks awkward.


Here is mine after paint.


As it turns out according to the Marti Report I have on My Cougar it is one of only 88 1973 Cougar Convertibles that was originally painted bright Yellow.
