Does anyone know the paint code for the exterior trim and headlight buckets on an 85 mustang?

I have to be honest... I love to look for these kind of esoteric things. It's like a lil' treasure hunt, and I get to put another lil' bit of knowledge in the ol' bucket.

From what I can gather, it's not a specific Ford code. It appears to be called SVO Trim Gray, and you can use PPG #DDL 33717 for the actual paint... except I hear it's not available? But you might can use PPG DCC33717 instead...?

Some have said to use SEM Charcoal Trim paint, but I don't know about that myself: http://www.semproducts.com/refinish-...rcoal-metallic

There are various other trim blacks that probably would look good as well. I know I used regular ol' trim black on my motorcycle's dashboard, and it is holding up pretty well, so far, and looks nice. Not shiny, not dull, just... nice.

However, if it was me, I would be using SEM HR010 kit, Hot Rod Black, as that would look great in the areas in question. I really like it on my lower trim of Awesome's sills: http://www.semproducts.com/refinish-...-rod-black-kit

I think that'd look fantastic on the four eye.

Oh, yeah, you can get a lacquer version of the SVO Trim Gray here: https://lmr.com/item/MET-EXT-01/84-8...ior-Trim-Paint

Hope that helps, and good luck!

Thanks, you have pointed me in the right direction. The SEM code for this paint is 39153. At least that's what is coming up on my searches. The Car Colors by me has SEM paints. Hopefully they will have the one I need. Thanks again!
