Author Topic: Mustang paint guru's RAP66 ¯ Member # 3360 posted                              I'm looking to get a bit of paint to hit the jams & such on my GT. I want to use Vermillion red or 93 Cobra red. When I search paint codes I cannot find anything listed as vermillion, and on one site I find 2 types of red: Vermillion, Performance red but under 6 different paint codes!? and the representation is junk. Which red is the correct one? The one 93 I have seen was nice and bright and looked like it had a hint of orange in it. -------------------- 91GT Kurgan Tuned:12lbs of boost 492.4 rwhp / 483.1 rwtq http://killcarb.org/ www.fordstrokers.com Posts: 893 | From: SF Bay Area | Registered: Oct 2003  |  : Stang66 ¯ Member # 10504 posted                              The different paint codes will be for.different brands of.paint you could go to tcpglobal.com and look through the paint chip books http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1993-ford-pg01.jpg [ July 10, 2012, 02:17 AM: Message edited by: Stang66 ] -------------------- 1966 Ford Mustang 1990 Notchback 1975 Pontiac Trans Am 400ci Posts: 754 | From: Stockton | Registered: Dec 2010  |  : nitrous_bob CAFords OG Member # 77 posted                              is this your original color ? get the paint code from the door tag it says "ext color" or something like that but..... 1987 had: medium scarlet , code 2D medium cabernet, code 2H 1988 had: same 2 as 1987 same codes 1989 had: bright red , code 21 med scarlet , 2D med cab , 2H 1990 had: med cab, code EH wild strawberry, code EL med red, code EM vermillion, code EP 1991 had: wild strawberry, code EL med red, code EM bright red, code EP 1992 had: same as '92 + performance red, code EY 1993 had: electric red , code EG vermillion, code EP vibrant red, code ES performance red, code EY off the top of my head...thats it, hope it helped FYI the '93 cobra was ES , vibrant red [ July 10, 2012, 06:10 PM: Message edited by: nitrous_bob ] -------------------- 5.0 OG since 1990 Posts: 1402 | From: st clair shores MI | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : RAP66 ¯ Member # 3360 posted                              My original color is EP but it looks absolutely nothing like the reds I see in the posted pics.
