we are in the same boat, trying to decide on a colour and if we should go stripes or not!!
i found a few examples on here if you haven't seen this already..
http://www.dmmultimedia.com/escort_01.htm

yeah, WA.
christ, thats a great resource.
i believe cherry red with pearl stripe is the go.
however the grey with black stripe is also trick.
what does anyone else think?

I think black really suits the Mk1 for some reason. I'd paint mine black if my Capri wasn't already black. Whatever you decide, looking forward to seeing it finished.

does anyone know of the colour code for the dark green, as that might look good with a white / silver stripe.
struggling to find a list of period ford colour codes.
currently the cherry red and pearl stripe is my daughters favorite.
(humph)
black and metalic silver does kick ass though.
did they do a sierra cosworth in "moonstone metalic grey" that might be the answer, trying to keep iot ford colours, as the paint might be thoe only ford bit on the bloody car!
