Question about paint color....
I have a 00 white stang. Somebody came by 2 nights ago and keyed up the drivers side door pretty deep. I talked to my friends neighbor (who works at a body shop) and he said that he would repaint the whole door for me for 100 bucks. He told me to buy all the supplies and he'll paint it.
He told me to stop in at autozone and get a can of "duplicolor paint shop" paint. I went to autozone and there was like 5 different whites. I wasnt sure which one to get so I looked through a book that had all the paint codes that ford made that year. There was only 1 white listed under all the paint codes and that was "oxford white". My damn paint code wasnt listed.
I told him about it and he said that "ultra white" will work just fine and its the same thing as "crystal white". Is this true and should I trust him? I cant really afford to take it to a paint shop and pay alot of money right now.

Go to your local auto paint supllier and have them match the paint for you. The one near me will mix as little as a quart for you and it is not that expensive. This way you get the correct color and only do it once.

Z1- OXFORD WHITE DID NOT COME INTO THE MUSTANG LINE UP INTILL 2001

I've asked 2 of the same questions in different areas to get a better response.
