[QUOTE="Torch Red 10th, post: 754465, member: 10288"] Actually, all those parts are painted somewhere else. Then they're shipped to Dearborn and put on the cars during regular assembly after the body is painted. Stupid huh? More than likely, all of our Cobras probably have parts painted with at least 3 or 4 different paint batches. Body is one, front and rear fascias another, rockers another, scoops another, spoiler another. Perhaps 5 total. When I bought my '00 Contour the spoiler didn't match. Ford had two different silvers that year.....you know where this is going. Anyway that's why the rockers don't match. They were painted somewhere else with a different batch of paint. Close, but not as good as using the SAME batch for all parts. [/QUOTE]
