Hi, could you perhaps tell me, where I could get a can of this paint ?
is there a color code to match ? I also have the Silver Frost I think.

any prep work or just mask and shoot ?

thanks in advance.

I got my paint at O'reilly's. It's just Duplicolor perfect match in the smaller red cans. It's a lot cheaper than paintscratch at $7 a can. O'reilly's had to order it, but only took a day. You can find your exterior paint color code on the driver side door, TS is silver Frost. I sanded it down with 800 grit, cleaned with acetone, used adhesion promoter, and then prime/paint.

@jolinc01 if you kept your gen2 headlights would the gen1 bumper fit in with the gen2 header panel & headlights?

I don't think it would've. IIRC the center tabs on the header panel and bumper are different from gen 1 to gen 2.

Cool, thanks!
we have a local paint supply shop here in town, called MAX Auto supplies.
I'll get my code and give them a call, they can appearently blend and prepare spray cans.

Admire the work, but I perfer the gen2 LSE Bumper. Just looked so clean!

Thanks Mike

 

[jolinc01]

Thanks jerbear.

mcaccamise - it's just a 99-01 Mustang Mach 1 chin spoiler. Here's a link http://www.americanmuscle.com/ma1chsp.html?utm_content=ma1chsp&utm_campaign=GSNoFitmentV1&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&AMID=ma1chsp-NoFitment&kw={keyword}

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the info Mike.

I might just be a perfectionist but the lower grille needs to be tapped off better and sprayed again or is it the l
lighting?

The fogs look good ive been thinking of doing this for a while now.

 

[jolinc01]

The line off the bars by the fogs aren't quite straight and there's a 'wave' on the driver side lower line. There's full coverage of black one the whole thing tho. I like how it turned out and don't plan on respraying it anytime soon.

 

[BlackLS06]

Just take it to a shop and have it resprayed and put a clear bra on top of it. Will last way longer.

My bumper looked horrible when i first got the car and a repsray really cleaned up the front end.

 

[jolinc01]

Repainted the chin spoiler and took a page out of Bulls book with the winter wheels. I'm sure people won't like it, but I think it's fun. Hell it's only paint.

 

[DENNISJR60]

I really love how your front end looks! It's crazy how much different & more aggressive the mach 1 chin spoiler makes the car look. Really love the changes you made to the front end!

 

[jolinc01]

Thanks Dennis! I actually like it more than the LSE conversion since I painted the grille.

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

love the wheels so sick

 

[mlara1129]

front end: cool
Wheels: cool

BUT...

where are your summer wheels? or did I miss something?

 

[jolinc01]

mlara, Rollin & I traded wheels. I'm just waiting on him to get another run up my way so he can drop them off.

 

[Andrizzle]

Your car looks sick. Really pulling off the original bumper like a boss.

 

[Bullschmidt]

I see I have started a florescent trend

Thank you sir.

Thanks drizz. I was skeptical at first but now I like it more than the LSE for some reason.

Maybe you did....I believe you were one of the first people I text about it.
