Thats probably what will happen with me. I love those cars too much to get rid of them.

I agree w/ 2, 5, 6, & 8.

As far as the wheels flaking, I had mine refinished at a body shop 3 years ago. Look just like they did originally. You guys do know that there is a paint code for them, right?

Did not know that...Are ya gonna share with enquiring minds?:-D

 

[LEE93COBRA]

I don't have it with me, but when I get back in town (going to FFW in Commerce) I will hit the body shop up that did mine.

Cool! I would like to have that paint code also. I have a buddy with a body shop that could hook me up. Did they just sand blast the wheels and repaint them? How did they get the old paint off? I don't know if a sand blaster would damage them or not. Anyone know???

Mine were acid dipped before the powder coating. Removed everything.

Sorry guys...I know this took way tooo long to get but my body man had a bike wreck about the time I first posted the paint code issue.:??:


Anyhow here it is. This is the PPG code (cross referrenced from the Ford code):

DBC33896...This is the silver 'base' paint. Regular clear cost goes over it. This code is for the PPg brand paint.

Again, sorry it took so long:nonono:

Thanks!

BTW, that paint matches perfectly, as I have touched up some spots on my wheels with it. Wow, there is a ton of metallic in it...

 

[Badblackbolt]

Wheel color....

Quick question. Does that paint code that Lee93 listed have the metallic already in it? Or does the body shop have to add it? Just curious.

Thanks
Bryan

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Yep, it is complete with the metallic in it. It is a basecoat color, so if you are refinishing your wheels, you need to add the clearcoat to it.

I just use it as is and it works just fine. It has so much metallic that it is shiny even without applying clearcoat to it...

Mine doesn't see a lot of miles each year, but most all of them aren't easy miles :burnout: :thumbsup:

exactly! i just wish i could get this thing back in a garage :nonono:

thats me---------------Spends 10 minutes circling any parking lot, looking for the "perfect" parking place?

The best way is by media blasting...stay away from the sand as it pits the
metal!! Within the last year I had my in-restoration '66 A fb Mustang media
stripped with walnut shells....great job w/o the pitting! Plastic beads are also
used with no pitting.

Previous posts show interest in the SVO's. Was I ever glad to find a well
taken care of original Oxford white some 10 years ago. I definately don't beat
it but of my 5 Mustang "herd", it is the MOST precise, roadable horse. I must
admit, tho, that my '93 Cobra is my all-around favorite. :beer:
