[Tigers] Air cleaner color

[Donald Antilla]

Tiger Friends:

 Here are three photos of the Air Cleaner from my (former) GT Tiger.

I hope you can gain some information from these photos. My impression from having “eyes-on” is that there is no Hammertone and the color is a silver tint. The color reminds me of Ford’s “Argent” paint which has a bit of brightness- a bit more than a satin tone.

I’m sure you will note the black paint; I guess a prior owner applied that at some time in the history of this GT Tiger.

I took a close look at the black paint with a magnifying glass, and then scraped my fingernail on the paint to see which is the base layer; it is clear that the black was sprayed over the silver (“Argent”)

The original Ford P/N was a C7AZ- type; now Ford sells it under PM-19K207-AA

 

I hope all this is helpful.

Interestingly, my air cleaner housing which is in rough shape but appears to have original paint still on it definitely is NOT Hammerstein type of paint. It is a slightly  blueish grey closer to the convertible top frame but slightly  bluer

Hi all,  happy new year.

Does anyone have a paint code for the grey on the air cleaner housing?

 

Thanks!
