and yes, your best bet is to have it scanned and the computer picks the whatever formula is the best match whether it`s the correct factory one or a 1986 Yugo color.
Hemi Orange/Tor-Red is a darker orange, NOT red.Hemi Orange is red, Vitamin C is orange.
Thanks Torred. I guess as long as it matches, that's all that really matters. I'm worried her body might reject Ford paint like someone would a bad organand yes, your best bet is to have it scanned and the computer picks the whatever formula is the best match whether it`s the correct factory one or a 1986 Yugo color.
V2 is technically the code, the E or other letter is the designation for the first year it was used. Hemi Orange is the same as Tor-Red, Vitamin C is the same as Go-Mango.
Correct, I guess I should have added that info. The year code is the first year that formula was used and in the case of B5 they kept the same color code but changed the formula slightly hence the different year codes. Thanks for clarifying.That's not entirely correct.
Witness the case of the commonly discussed B5 blue.
1969 was the first year and the code was therefore EB5.
However, in 1971, it was reformulated and the code was GB5.
Then in 1974, it was reformulated again, and the code was KB5.
ALL are technically "B5 blue".
...but they are all quite different.
That's why it's important to use all three digits for 1968 and later fender tag paint codes.
