    Default Paint Match for 79 Zephyr

    Hello,

    My 79 is a dark red metallic. Painting engine bay and looking for a decent match.
    Sticker says paint code is 66D or 66?

    Search turns up nothing useful.
    I see cars the same color on here, just wondering what the color actually is, and where I can can get a couple spray cans of something similar.

    Thank You!

    I believe you have the wrong number. 66 is for a gold color. Red colors always start with a 2. I think you are looking at the body style number.
    Besides checking the paint samples on my site, I checked the dealer's big book 1979 Mercury Color and Upholstery Selections with the same results.
    Lots of FREE F/Z info on my site.

    66B or 66D is the "BODY" code not the paint code. Look above "EXTERIOR PAINT COLORS" for the paint code, not below.

    So I guess it’s called Medium Cabernet Red, but duplicolor lists it as Dark Canton Red.

    thanks again guys just ordered a couple cans
