Default XP8 paint code for front grill/bumper?

As the title says, does anyone happen to have the color code for the silver color for these parts? Myself and a few other XP owners are wondering.

Bump; any idea what this could be or who I could ask to find out? These trucks sure seem like the red headed step child to Saleen with the lack of stats/info sometimes...

Not red headed step child, not to many people have them. When I had my front end repainted they tapped off the Gray section so I did not have to worry about that. You should be able to take a sample of the paint and run it on a paint analyzer. When you find the code please post it.

Yeah this was brought up by another owner also which is why I posted it here. Plus mine needs a repaint also sometime. Seems like more people in the know here. Mine is quite faded so I'm not sure if they could use that but good to know there is a possible way. Thanks Greg

I love the truck too. I wanted one since I was 12 when the local Ford dealer had a XP6 in 1998. I think I'll probably always have one on hand also, too cool to ever sell. It just would have been nice if Saleen had kept better records of the trucks and made aftermarket parts much longer, especially for the original owners. Just my $.02

I dont know if the Saleen colors this year are different from the normal ford colors but here are all the colors and codes for a 1998 explorer.

using this chart you should be able to match it up to your vehicle colors code, it should be located on a label located normally on your driver door jamb or somewhere under the hood.

I have been trying to get this paint code and ford has been no help, it looks to be the same dark gunmetal that is used on the two tone explorer XLT's and sports.
