It is hard to tell from the faded paint on my car (89) but it appears the finish on the GT skirts and stuff is a matte finish. Is that a correct assumption? I have read different things in the last couple months. The only reason I question is that I cleaned up the inside bottom lip of my doors and the color overlap on the inside of door is a lot brighter so it makes me wonder what it was originally when the car was new.

I purchased a can of SEM bumper coating, in the light Titanium Metallic and I think that has too much metallic in it compared to the original. Also it was a bright finish. I painting a scrap piece of plastic to get an idea on the color.

I am kinda torn which way to go with this. Being that this car is an original paint car I want to make the lower titanium color correct.

Any input would be appreciated.

Maybe @FoxChasis can help, I also have an 89 GT but mine is supposed to be dark blue/silver on the lower portion, it's a repaint.

Need a paint code

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...
