    I am looking for the official paint code for my Competition Orange GT 500.
    Can anyone supply that to me?

    I want to have a pint mixed up at a local paint store.

    Thanks for your help!

    Just take the color code off of the data plate to the paint store. They can mix it.

    Unfortunately Competition Orange was a special order paint color for 69 Shelbys and the door date plate was left blank.
    Thanks for replying!

    It is the same paint as Calypso Coral which was used on other Mustangs that year.

    Well then, we will have to muddy the waters. Ford never used the term--- competition colors but Mercury did and some of them contradicted each other. Competition Orange in a Cougar[color code 1] was Calypso Coral[ color code 1] in a Mustang.
    Competition Gold in a Cougar[ color code U] was Grabber Orange[color code U] in a Mustang.

    Cougar colors Go to definitions

    Mustang colors
