Dark Horse Headlight Trim

[So0_NaSTy]

Hey guys. For people here with the Dark horse, what color would you say the trim under your headlights is? My body shop when I did the dark horse bumper kit claims it looked grayish, and online I do see that in a few pictures, whereas other pictures it looks black. It also seems ford doesn’t have a color for it, it’s paint to match. I attached a picture of mine.

the color is called Dark Tarnished. was also used on the mirror caps and wing of the 2021-23 Mach 1. its a really, really difficult color to match because Ford has no touch-up paint or information on it, but i've heard some say its a semigloss finish version of Magnetic

Interesting. Thanks. So you’d say it’s closer to black in person than grey? Is it more matte or metallic like? Just looking for as much info as possible.

it is a medium-dark grey with a semigloss (some might call it satin) finish and also metallic

its hard to tell from your picture. here's a picture of the Dark Horse trim in the sunlight

Yeah it’s definitely hard to tell. I tried zooming into my picture. It looks close ish but not 100%.

Yeah. I replaced it with a dark horse conversion kit.

Hey. Here’s a farther pic of the car, not sure if this is easier to compare to yours.

@So0_NaSTy i found what might be the paint code for Tarnished Dark. "GXTE / Tarnished Dark Anodized Metallic" is what i found from a Sherwin Williams pdf. the one i found is for the F-150, but i highly doubt Ford has "Tarnished Dark" and "Dark Tarnished" colors that are different

Cool thank you. I went in person to see a dark horse at my local dealer and I parked my car near it. The colors are nearly identical, mine is just more metallic like, not as satin. But color wise, dark horse seems definitely grey, not black. So I decided to leave it as is.
