SEMA 2011: ROUSH and Sherwin-Williams’ RS3 Premier Edition Stang

The RS3 is a gentleman’s car; it boasts just the right amount of modifications…in all the key areas making it a Mustang you don’t have to modify to enjoy.

A couple months ago ROUSH was kind enough to let us test their new RS3 Mustang. The RS3 is a gentleman’s car; it boasts just the right amount of modifications, both aesthetic and performance-oriented, in all the key areas making it a Mustang you don’t have to modify to enjoy.

Automotive performance and racing legend Jack Roush unveiled the 2012 ROUSH Stage 3 Premier Edition Mustang at the Sherwin-Williams Automotive booth. Roush was joined by NASCAR Sprint Cup series and Roush Fenway Racing team driver David Ragan as together they uncovered the dazzling orange ‘Mat It Mango’ 2012 Mustang, which also featured highlighted, painted graphics in its exclusive ‘Sin City Silver’ and ‘Performance Pearl’ colors.

A special feature of the 2012 ROUSH Stage 3 Premier Edition is their new color options package, allowing for personal customization of three different aesthetic elements of the car – twelve  Sherwin-Williams Planet Color Custom Color choices for the base vehicle color, graphic colors, and graphic accent colors. The result is an impressive palette of unique color combination possibilities.

The 2012 ROUSH Stage 3 Premier Edition color choices and names include:

• Black Diamond • Performance Pearl
• Motor City Iron • Sin City Silver
• Blue Bayou • Jet Stream
• Gold Rush • Liquid Copper
• Red Blooded American • Mean Green
• Luminescent Lime • Mat It Mango

“This is a show-quality, premier paint application process.  All paint is hand-applied at our ROUSH Performance facilities along with technical support from the Sherwin-Williams team,” said Roush. “It’s a tri-coat application that introduces subtle hues of reflective flaking into the paint so the colors really dance and bounce as the Premier Edition adjusts to the changing sunlight angles.  It’s a very intense paint process, but we’ve got a winning formula to make these Mustangs look great!”
