Hey Guys,
I'm in the process of determining the correct Paint code for the 87 TC. I have some conflicting information, so any help would be appreciated. While I want to paint the car the Silver Blue, my wife wants Dark Blue.
Here's what I have, my 87 has a paint code of 77 on the door, which is called in my 87 Parts Catalog as Medium Shawdow Blue Metallic. Now when I look in the 87 Sales Brochure, there is no mention of this color, only the Dark Shadow Blue Clearcoat Metallic. To add to the confusion, I also got a 1987 Ford Cars Fact Book, which is a dealer sales book which outlines all the cars & details in the Ford line. There is a actual exterior paint chip chart & it lists the color of my car as well as the Dark Shadow Blue Clearcoat Metallic. The Medium Shawdo Blue (77 code) is for the T-bird, but the Dark Blue (7B code) is for Mustang only. I've attached a pic of my car before I started sanding it down as well as a copy of the paint chip chart. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
