Subject: McLaren Mustang Paint
Since Sandy has recently detailed how a black mustang coupe(1988) became a red conv.; Perhaps the concern I have about my car looking so good that it led me to conclude that it must have been repainted is a just not correct.
The engine compartment is black. The entire trunk (under the mats!) area is bright red, as is the area under and around the spare. The inside/underside of the trunk lid is bright and shiny; so is the underside of the hood and the door sills and latching areas of the door themselves.
Since, some of y'all were so anxious to tell us about how you dealt with attacks upon your car(s), I am just begging on your good graces, and idle time?, to let me know how these cars looked in the first place. Sandy says, the SIKKENS paint is really great; does anyone else, on this site, have a red (Porsche, POR-027) '88 that can share his 2 cents on how their car looks and the overall appearance of the paint. To me the red paint on my car has a bit of "orange-peel" texture: Not as pronounced as the finish oon Chryslers in the '50s, but not smoothe as lacquer, either.
The paint sticker on the inside of the driver's door is about a two inch paper square upon which is printed SIKKENS. Then underneath are three lines: Color:_______, Paint Code:_______ and Date:_______. Unfortunately, there are no legible entrys on the forementioned lines. Sandy advised me to look for a similar sticker on the underside of the trunk lid, but such is not there.
Chattering about paint may be more than any of you want to do in the time it takes to type. If so, just send me a phone # and i will give you a call so we can compare notes?
Thanks for listening any help you can offer,
Dick Johnson.
