1978 Ford Group Paint Charts and Color Codes |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Two-Tone Combinations - The first letter of a two-letter paint code identifies the body colour. The second letter identifies the roof colour. For example, the combinatin BM on a Ford would indicate the body finished in Dark Maroon and the roof are in Wimbledon White.
Lucite® - Acrylic Lacquer is recommended for SPOT REPAIR, panel repair and overall refinishing of all original automotive finishes.
Centari - Acrylic Enamel is recommended for small area, panel repair and overall refinishing.
Dulux® - Enamel may be used for panel repair and overall refinishing.
Note - It may be necessary at all times to tint colours to produce a satisfactory match due to normal weathering and changes in colour standards. |
