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.

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!

I ended up putting 3 coats on and I don't think it will need clear coat...it may stand out to much . Thanks
