85 - black or grey belt moulding?
Since I am now new to 85s, what color were the belt mouldings/ headlight buckets. Black or Grey?
For the black trim (mirrors, cowl panel, ect.), what is a good match? Thanks. |
Grey. SEM makes a nice black.
|
Thanks Mike :thumbsup:

According to the "Exterior Trim" section in the 1985 Ford Car Facts Book, the '85 LX coupe had...
Charcoal fascia headlamp surround Charcoal cowl grill, cowl molding, and wiper arms Bright upper windshield (charcoal lower), drip rail, door frame, and quarter window and backlight moldings Charcoal door and quarter window frames Body-color quarter window louvers Bright door handles, locks, antenna, and base Charcoal taillamp paint/tape treatment Black paint on back of fuel tank Dual color-coordinated bodyside pinstripes Ford oval on right side of decklid Mustang nomenclature/series designation on left side of decklid |

Are the frames like what is black in my photo? http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_2833.jpg My car still has the original paint around the windows and it is black, unless the gray has turned to black |
The black around the windows should be black paint as found on the body of the CHP car.
Note the gray on the rub strip trim, mirrors and headlight buckets in this photo for reference as to what needs to be painted: http://images54.fotki.com/v627/photo...86_SSPM-vi.jpg |

It is charcoal around the windows, belt moldings, etc. SEM 39153 is about as close as you'll get out of a can, from what I've seen. There is no flat black on the outside of an '85-6 mustang that I'm aware of.

So everything around the window, rearview mirrors and the door posts have to be gray?? Just curious so I do it right.
|
Yup, all of it is gray! The drip rail molding up top above the door frames, front lower window trim + cowl grill is also gray.
