A little slow today

Sorry for being a little slow today Eric. I have checked the faq and can only find one persons best guess at the color in PPG. I would like to be able to walk into the paint shop and say "mix me a quart of ..... paint here is the number" Just like I would say mix me a quart of 86 ford 2r, thats the code Iam looking for.

That is not going to be possible....

I have seen about 10 SVO's  with original paint.  Of those 10, 5 had different shades of charcoal.

Ford just wasn't real picky about the color they used  for the trim.

Your absolute best bet is to take something in to a paint shop, and say mix me a quart to match this.  They will be able to get as close as anything  we are going to be able to give you. 

 

edit:: BTW::any paint shop should be able to cross reference that ppg #

Grey Trim Paint : The Answer!

I'm an original owner and had to repaint my trim recently. I used "SEM Urethane Bumper Coater" spray paint ( that is as it shows on the outside of the can. There is only grey or black for Fords. I purchased it at my local "Auto Color" paint supply store. They supply all the major independant body shops ( several stores around the Atlanta area ). I may have just been lucky but it was a perfect match to my original trim. Be sure to use a good self etching primer ( light coats ) and sand until smooth. I used the primer sold in the Eastwood catalog. It may take a few coats. Be sure to let it dry completely between coats ( I waited one day ). If you need any more info call me at : 770-345-0383 after 6:00 pm P.S. I took a First Place Gold Concours at a National MCA Show Memorial Day Weekend and an another first place at a local MCA Regional show this summer.
