Tape Stripe Decoding?
Does anyone know how to decode the "Tape Stripe" on a 1990 Mustang door tag, specifically the letter B? I presume that is a specific color, but the none of the reference books I have seem to have "Tape Stripe" info. Thank you.
Mike

Mike, in '86 the tape stripe code "B" was for a Regatta Blue stripe. I'm not sure if this changed by '90 or not?
Here's a link to my NHP's VIN project page with a copy of the marti report showing the "B" stripe for my car. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info206553.htm

Codes from 1984 were a real pain to sort out, and the aero cars were just a little difficult. Hope the list is useful.
I would like to get the molding codes figured out. |

That's great, thanks Mick...should have figured you'd come through. Now a quick follow-up....anyone know how one goes about obtaining replacement stripes that match the correct / original color. Do Mustang after market shops sell those? Sorry for the questions, I haven't delved very far at this point, just figured someone has already gone down this path. Looks like from the in-service pics and the door tag on the 1990 MSHP SSP, it had the tape stripe. From the pics I have, doesn't appear to currently have on it, so thinking that would be something to evolve going forward. Thanks!

The stripes were painted on at the factory.

Ok thanks that's helpful. Any way to figure out what a color code is for that, which could be used by a shop to replicate?

Could be, although, my instinct says the color on the car in the attached 2 links below is lighter than the sample shown for that 1990 Medium Blue. Could just be the bad picture quality, though. It does indicate stripe color, though, but would almost need to see the color in person, I think.
