New Falcon Colors

SpoolMan · 21-06-2010, 01:31 PM

There are some new colors coming out on the FG Falcon range, two that I know of are Sunburst and Edge.
Questions is, has any one got real pictures of these two colors painted on a car, I have seen the paint chips and I am not selecting a new car color off a paint chip.

I think I saw Havana on a Terri last Friday - very...... brown.

New colours sound good to me, current range is looking very old hat.

Anyone know what colours are going this year?

FPV8U · 21-06-2010, 02:29 PM

What colours are they Mark?

Sunburst sounds Orange which would be a good return.

Sunburst is an orange with lots of metallic, the paint chip I seen looks nothing like that pic that's been posted..

sunburst is a beautiful colour in direct sunlight alot of metalic in it, but in the shade it looks crap. it reminds me of the bronze colour the cv8 monaros came out with late in their life.

Because its Sold, its heading out your way.....now I have BA XR6 n/a Phantom ute to sell.

I most likely going for the 50th anniversary edition fg turbo ute, in Lightening strike?, $16k cheaper than the F6 Ute and will have more extras.
Difference being, brembo, body kit and smaller turbo internal.

It was a nice ride. I will keep an eye out for it. Does it still have bonnet with scoop? FG XR6T ute will be nice. Good choice of colour!

I wanted red, problem is 50th anniversary xr ute will only come in 6 colors and with the turbo utes only 230 will be made and look to be good value.
black, viper, white, lightening strike, edge and sunburst..

CFOUR · 21-06-2010, 10:21 PM

Excuse my ignorance but what the hell is viper? I'm more monochromatic in my color schemes.

Feathers · 21-06-2010, 11:29 PM

Viper is purple - similar to Phantom on the BAs

I think go for viper. They look best on the XR's. Plus it's close to your old and current ute.

gtfpv · 22-06-2010, 12:09 AM

there is only one colour , and that is nitro on an FG .

Geez Louise · 22-06-2010, 12:43 AM

In the FG range a colour called Havana will be released too.

This was taken from the Nextcar.com.au website

G Series 50th Anniversary models will be available in two new prestige paint colours to be introduced for the FG Falcon range in May and August. Arriving first is "Havana", a soft neutral mocha metallic with smoky brown graduated hues and a dark, deeper bronze highlight.

Coming on line in August, "Edge" is a dark charcoal with a hint of blue that features a dark, sparkling luxury metallic highlight.

Be good to actually see what these colours will look like on a car. I have searched to see if I could find one but it doesn't appear that pictures have been released yet.

Whatever you choose Mark, I am sure you will be happy with it but as everyone knows...Red cars go faster :P

Melz · 22-06-2010, 05:47 AM

Wonder if they will re-release copper bronze.......

Good thinking Mark.

I bought my datto off a paint chip and the actual colour of the car looks nothing like it.

Thanks mate. I had it pegged down to either the purple or the light blue.
The shold have called that purple violent. "that's not a very manly color mate, what is it lavender or violet?" "nah mate it's violent". It'd still be purple but like menace before it, it would have a cool name.

If I go the (red) vixen wont see the car until October at earliest.
Need to choose by Friday as the production run next month will be the start of the 50th anniversary turbo model so its either Viper or Lightening strike.
No interest in Sunburst the Edge is replacing EGO so I guessing it will be similar.

Here's a nice pic of a car in viper.

flappist · 22-06-2010, 11:37 AM

Geez Mark, I just can't imagine you in a purple ute....

TZENU · 22-06-2010, 11:52 AM

The more I see viper, the more I like it

I noticed the other day that "Steel" (Smokey dark blue) is no longer available. Dash was discontinued a couple of months ago as well. Ego will also be replaced.

Have also noticed you cant choose cloth trim colours for XR anymore, only graphite cloth or leather now. Cashmere interior for G-Series has also been discontinued. Bit disapointing.
