COLOR CODEQ (1967) - Brittany BlueFord Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is the understated legend of the mid-sixties. While many enthusiasts reach for loud, high-impact reds, this color provides a cooler, more sophisticated presence on a 1967 Mustang or Thunderbird. It is a light, pastel-leaning blue that can almost look silver depending on how the sun hits it. Because your car has likely been on the road since the LBJ administration, the original finish has probably matured and faded slightly. This means your repair might look a bit richer than the rest of the body at first, but it captures that specific 1967 "robin-egg" charisma that defined the Shelby GT500.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, often referred to in old catalogs as a Poly color. This means the liquid is packed with tiny silver flakes that give the paint its shimmer and depth. Metallics are temperamental. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, blotchy patches called mottling. You want the flakes to lay flat and even so the light reflects off them uniformly. If you see the color looking darker than the rest of the car, it usually means the flakes are standing on edge rather than lying flat.

Best Practices

You will find your confirmation on the metal warranty plate located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Ford Brittany Blue (check for code Q (1967)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the most important step because those heavy metallic flakes settle at the bottom of the container quickly. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves before you touch the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the surface. Use thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between each one to prevent the paint from sagging or the flakes from shifting.
