This was unusually hard to find. I was gonna buy it through work, but couldnt find 1 single can in the entire country. I ended up going to 3 different Advance Auto Parts to get it. Its the most common 90s Ford paint color, it shouldn’t have been that difficult.

Nevertheless, the saga continues

PS- Advance had it listed as vermillion metallic in their computer for some reason

Quite certain the most common 90s Ford Color is Oxford White.

I said color, not absence of color. Oxford white has been the best selling Ford color for decades

Most Paint shops can mix it up in Spray cans for you. It might have been a little more expensive though.

Checkmate.

White is all the colors.

Also why an Explorer bumper? My bumper is nearly identical to your renders but it’s factory. I’m sure it’d be easier to bolt on a Ranger bumper to Ranger than an Explorer bumper to a Ranger.

That depends if youre thinking in additive or in subtractive color, in subtractive white is all colors, in additive its the absence.

Also explorer bumper because an edge bumper has a dip in it for the newer grille design, the explorer doesnt

Why not newer grill design?

“Oxford white has been the best selling Ford color for decades”

You already admitted that it is a color. And that it outsold Cayman Green.

I actually like my grille shape

To each his own. I personally like the 94' Splash grill best.

But my honeycomb is pretty good too.

You have clearcoat? You will need it. Tried Dupli-color on my golf cart and it comes off. I hate clearcoat so I went with Krylon.

If it doesn’t match, which it should you can go to automotivetouchup.com and order a factory color in spray can. It’s a big can too. They make it fresh so you know it hasn’t been sitting for years. Still have to have clearcoat though.
