Boss roof colors: does anyone know what the correct colors and paint codes are for the white, black, and red roofs? My guess it the white roof on the KB is high performance white, HP, but I need to know for sure for when I get my LS spoiler painted.

Paint Codes From the 2011 Ordering Guide
Don't know if the Ordering Codes and Color Names are the same as the "Paint Codes", but here's what's in the Ordering Guide:
Color Name Ordering Code
Race Red PQ
Black UA
Performance White HP
Perhaps the color name is sufficient to get the correct number paint code to make sure your colors match
Good Luck
Color Name Ordering Code
Race Red PQ
Black UA
Performance White HP
Perhaps the color name is sufficient to get the correct number paint code to make sure your colors match
Good Luck

UA is the Mustang (LS) black and I am mostly sure the color of roof on black stripe cars. I would think CC list is correct. Were you able to check with the body shop at your dealer rick? If they don't have an answer I can ask the guys at mine.

That would seem obvious but I didn't buy the spoiler from the dealer where I purchased the car nor am I going to have them install it so I was hoping to source the info elsewhere. I'm still not confident that HP is the white used on the roof. I might reach out to another dealer closer to my home and see if they can get me the correct code if nobody here can find it for me.

I have no proof to offer, but it seems to me that it wouldn't make sense to have two different paint colors for both black and white on the assembly line. Since HP is already used on Mustangs, and on the Boss as well, it would only complicate the assembly line.
In addition, Ford has been using that HP-code paint on Mustangs for years.
If the roof were a sticker, I would be more worried about getting a paint match. Since it's painted, you can be pretty sure it's HP. Also, any body shop worth it's salt can match colors. My dad has been an auto body painter for 30+ years now, and he deals with matching unknown paint codes on a daily basis. If the body shop gives you weird looks about matching paint color, I'd run the other way to another shop.

I have confirmed that the red, black and white roofs are the standard Mustang colors so HP is the correct white for the white striped cars.
