    Are the stripes the Grabber blue? The bottom stripe is exactly how I'm doing mine. Does the line start exactly were the valence meets the quarter panel and run straight back?
    That is one sharp lookin Mav.... Man I hate to go over and work on her on Thanksgiving Day....but she's softly calling me:D

    It is Grabber blue, or as we used to call it, "Richard Petty Blue" Thats way back when he used to drove Fords. It does separate where the front valance bolts to the bottom of the fender and straight back from there.

    the rear where the taillights and gastank is blue too and so on down the car. the trunk is still completly white.

    does anyone have the paint code for the blue on the sprints? i may have to get mine re-sprayed come spring time so that it can look so nice and so clean again. sad that it had to sit this long.

    The paint code for Grabber Blue is 3F and Wimbledon White is 9A. Personally, I hate Wimbledon White because it always looks dirty to me. I painted mine with the brightest white I could find.

    I was asking if Mavs car rear roll pan was blue like the front roll pan?

    Hmmm...my paint codes are different M for Wimbledon white...J for Grabber Blue...dont guess it matters...they matched perfectly.

    Hey Rick,
    How's it going? The rear valence is blue as well.
