Tape Stripe Decoding?
Does anyone know how to decode the "Tape Stripe" on a 1990 Mustang door tag, specifically the letter B? I presume that is a specific color, but the none of the reference books I have seem to have "Tape Stripe" info. Thank you.
Mike

Mike, in '86 the tape stripe code "B" was for a Regatta Blue stripe. I'm not sure if this changed by '90 or not?
Here's a link to my NHP's VIN project page with a copy of the marti report showing the "B" stripe for my car. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info206553.htm

Codes from 1984 were a real pain to sort out, and the aero cars were just a little difficult. Hope the list is useful.
I would like to get the molding codes figured out. |

That's great, thanks Mick...should have figured you'd come through. Now a quick follow-up....anyone know how one goes about obtaining replacement stripes that match the correct / original color. Do Mustang after market shops sell those? Sorry for the questions, I haven't delved very far at this point, just figured someone has already gone down this path. Looks like from the in-service pics and the door tag on the 1990 MSHP SSP, it had the tape stripe. From the pics I have, doesn't appear to currently have on it, so thinking that would be something to evolve going forward. Thanks!
