Title: Gray painting on early Metuchen
Post by: mikeboss429 on January 19, 2020, 09:07:12 AM

Hello everyone and Mustang expert,

I am currently restoring a French export Metuchen coupe of 1970, built at 09/12/69 and I would like to know if these parts was painted in sloppy gray?

- The grille support réf. D0ZZ-8232-A
- The shock tower brace réf. C9ZZ-16A052-A C9ZZ-16A053-A
- The hood latch grille support réf. D0ZZ-16707-A
- The two inner front bumper bracket réf. C9ZZ-17767-A
- The two outer front bumper bracket réf. C9ZZ-17755-A
- The two fender to valance brace ref. C9ZZ-17747-A

Anyone know who I can find this paint or have a reference of this (RAL,...)

Have a nice day

Thanks a lot. I have found an original unrestored Metuchen car but I can not affirm than the paint on shock tower was gray.

Don't look gray - just a different tone and tint (as well as age) of black since they were painted elsewhere by the supplier like all the plants

Hope the threads John has posted answer your questions
