Mustang repaint

[Dreaded_Reaper]

um, don't know if this is the right place to post this, anyways is it possible to repaint a mustang the factory color it came as? does anyone even have the paint anymore?

Yes it is. Just find the color code which should be in the door jam of your drivers side and they can mix the paint to match the code. I'm sure someone else who is more paint savy will chime in but I've had two cars get repainted the stock color.

cool, thanx

its cheaper too as they do not have to do the door-jams and such if that paint is in good shape and it is matching.

Unless your car is a mystic now.....

Make sure you get a quality paint that can be vindicated so you can get the correct alternate. Otherwise you jams and such might not match. Paints like Dupont can do this. I would assume PPG could to. It should be a two digit paint code.

didn't have to repaint my jams, just buff the hell out of them so they shine the same as the rest of the car. repainting is not expensive, body work time is what will get you. ask me how i know. so even if the paint on a car is not mint it's the dents and dings you need to watch for. make sure to look under the vehicle too, so how it's been treated.

so you could find a paint from dupont that would match up? just give someone the two digit paint code and they'd know what would work.

you can do that, or they have tools that will measure the paint in a few points and then automatically figure out what colors they need to mix to match it. That is better as if your paint has faded it will be easier to blend into the points that are not painted.
