    Default 85 GT rear quarter body molding color?

    What's the paint code for gray molding on the 85gt? Is there a spray paint code or will I have to have some mixed up? My car is medium canyon red with the gray molding trim...thanks

    No there is not a paint code from Ford. You can get an SEM product that is close...still a bit light...but it's also an interior and not exterior paint. If you search I came up with a mix through Sherwin Williams automotive that's more of a commercial grade product utilized by Budweiser, Coke, etc. It's kind of expensive but it's been 8 or so years now and it still looks like the day I picked it up from the paint shop.

    SEM 39153 is the exterior bumper trim coating

    SEM 15303 is the interior trim coating

    Generally the SEM trim paint is one and done. I personally do all my trim in BC/CC for longer durability. You can clear coat if you wish. Just make sure to use a Satin or Matte clear coat spray. Anything else will be too glossy and will not look correct or original. Good Luck!
