I have a 1987 5.0 GT. Typical 2 tone, mine is the dark charcoal up top and the silver lower. I know a lot of the two tone cars of that era had different color uppers, but that lower silver I believe to always be the same.

I picked up a ABS chin spoiler from Makers Garage and want to paint it to match the lower half of the car. My paint and body guy took a picture of the door tag which apparently only has the main color on it? I don’t know enough to say that’s true or not. Does anybody know what that paint code would be?

The infamous titanium YJ color code.
Go with whatever color comes closest to matching.

Mustang 'Lower Titanium Accent Paint' code on the door tag:
1987-88 = 73
1989 = 76
1990-93* = YJ
*for part of 1991 code ZH was also used

Ford paint shop code was M6143G.
