Just for reference capris made in 1986 don’t have the paint code sticker in the boot it’s a square label that makes no sense .

Re: Paint codes
Agreed my 1986 plate reads Canton blue which doesn’t exist.

Re: Paint codes
Ditto 1984, mine says XSC1056 - which is Strato Silver. (The car is, and always has been, Mineral Blue) Weird!Jasonmarie wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 7:40 pm Just for reference capris made in 1986 don’t have the paint code sticker in the boot it’s a square label that makes no sense .

Re: Paint codes
I must be lucky mine is pretty much bang on
1932 is the code for Ford Lacquer Red and I think the A on the end of mine might denote a different shade of the colour as I think I seen 1932B code too which is Lacquer Red as well. Someone might know more of the significance of the letter A but as said 1932 is deffo Lacquer Red.

And having seen how different shades of Lacquer Red can look in differing light I'd suggest B for Brown.
