I like it. The GS had the best color, but that doesn't help any since you don't even know the paint code =/

Interesting choice. I guess it also depends on your interior color.

If you wanna be different, I'd go with "new penny" copper. There's a guy that painted his Ordens penny copper and it looks clean son!

I don't really the VW color, because its too dark. Seen it in person. How about taking the factory ford color and adding alittle more brown to get it closer, because its the closest to that aristo color. Could the paint shop mix a custom color for you? The down side would be if it gets damaged then its alot harder to repair or match.

+1 on this http://www.kolorhouse.com/hoc-pbc50-q01.html
I think it would really show-off the front and rear fender "blisters" on the GS
