SUBJECT: TWO-TONE PAINT CODES
Should the need arise to paint any two-tone XT Coupe vehicles, the color codes found on these vehicles are explained in this Service Bulletin.

For example, a 1986 XT Coupe with "Lucent Gray" over "Lightning Silver" is color coded "641". This number (641) does not identify either color on the car, but only designates the combination. The correct color code for "Lucent Gray" for color matched purposes is "654", and for "Lightning Silver" it is "392."

For your information, the following are the correct individual color codes for each of the XT Coupe two-tone color codes:
