89 Paint Code

[AlbertaSHO]

I looked at the door jamb and saw the paint code was either 2E or 2F, couldn't make out the last letter. But looking in the Duplicolor paint code book neither is listed, is it SHO specific? Is a spray bomb availble in this color at NAPA or Canadian Tire? Does anyone know what name of the red is on the 89, ie Dark Canyon Red or whatever?

Thanks!

That I knew of the only red available for the GEN I SHO was Electric red. The Color code for that is EG

1989 = 2F Currant Red
1990 = EG Electric Currant Red CC

spray can paint will not match your factory 21 year old paint.

Unless you order it...and even then, it's likely to be a shade off. Check these guys out. If you order a can, lut us know how it turned out...

No titanium 91s?

 

[jonheese]

Nope, not according to Ford. Is that wrong?

I got a can of duplicolor with code EG since that was the closest one, I'm just touching up the SHO lettering on the rear bumper so it shouldn't be too horrible since it's only covering a small area.

Warning: it will probably look like ass. Currant Red and Electric Red are two different colors of red. You'd probably have just as much luck buying a totally different manufacturer's paint code version of darkish red, or just standard rattle can darkish red.

If I were you, I'd try to find some 2F Currant Red (it's an '89-only color), but good luck!

True, the paint isn't exactly the same but it's pretty darn close, plus the car isn't exactly in concours shape, plus it can't look any worse.
