Thread resurrection! Going to be getting round to this bit soon, so have been doing my research.

@richiep - can I just call Paints4U (or Colourtone?) and ask for 'Ford Dark Shadow Gray, code CX-7039 - USA version' then?
You can order online from Paints4U. Go here:

In the colour finder fields, insert 2001, Ford (USA), CX7039. It's in their database:

Easy peasy.

really? weren't 260/280 rear light panels just satin black?
Nope. Grey like the 240Z. Highly common for them to have been repainted black though.

This talk reminds me of one of my potential 2023 to-do list items - repaint the satin black spoiler and rear panels on my red Z to grey from satin black...

I did that and have the paint can - REALLY didn’t like the colour so barely used it other than the test patch.

All yours for the postage if you want it and if I can find a courriwr willing to take hazardous materials.

I did mine in a Ford colour, I can't remember the code but still have the can at home so can let you know later on if you like?

Robo if you can find the paint code for the Capri 2.8 grey I’ll probably be able to get you a can from my old-old school car spares shop next Tuesday ,could also get a set of points probably for a Z

Just preferred the satin black on mine - being a dark blue car it suits it better IMHO

Ahh I see, it's not that you didn't think it was the right grey then. Yeah I'll take that off your hands then thanks - I'll DM you.
