Lizstick Red

Lizstick Red is a signature Saleen paint color, most closely associated with Saleen’s high performance Mustangs of the late 1990s and 2000s. The name is intentional and personal, referencing Elizabeth “Liz” Saleen, Steve Saleen’s wife, with the playful wordplay clearly evoking “lipstick.”

Visually, Lizstick Red is a deep, highly saturated red with a rich candy like appearance. It is often compared to Candy Apple Red, but Lizstick Red typically appears darker and more uniform, with a strong gloss finish rather than a heavy flake or pearl effect. Under direct light the color has a somewhat orange undertone, while in shade it settles into a darker, more dramatic crimson tone.
