The OEM spoilers on both the Handling Pack and base Machs have paint code tags under the spoilers that indicate such.

I stand corrected. You are right. For a painted, plastic item, it does show well.

The PN# I pulled earlier, from Ford Performance, is the gloss black one.

I went back and saw your post for PN# and Paint Codes. Thanks.

Herrod Performance is Ford's official Second Stage Vehicle Manufacturer for Australia and Ford both approves and warranties their models. They're essentially like Roush or Shelby down there and the owner, Rob Herrod, has many longstanding contacts within Ford corporate and Ford Performance. I corresponded with him directly and am inclined to believe him. He offered to have one routed to me within the US from Ford via his connections.

Curious. should the paint code tag, for the Magnetic Grey spoiler, should it be visible while the wing is on the car? More likely, it is stamped on the base that is attached to the car.

The paint code tag is most often yellow and stuck to the underside of the spoilers where it mounts against the car. One example from a member here's base Mach 1 is pictured on the first page of this thread.

It does but it's not as easy to FIND the part and sometimes it may give multiple versions of a part the same name. So, it's hard to tell if by "spoiler" it means the one you are looking for or one of the other 4 spoilers. You sometimes have to guess just based on the price.

As a BMW owner for the last 15+ years (and a realoem user), I can't tell you how frustrating it's been trying to figure out how to find part numbers for ford. I've spent hours trying to find battery covers (not called that in the parts catalog), decal numbers, the cover for the front towhook, etc etc etc). Ford hates its customers, is the only conclusion I can come to.

The Ford part numbers are shared by an oral tradition. The community elders before quitting are passing their wisdom including the sacred part numbers to the freshly initiated youngsters in a secret part number ritual. Luckily, today, they can use Google Sheets instead of stone engravings or leather branding.

Thanks, I'll cancel my "How to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics" class and start using the google sheet.

I just paint the rear spoiler in "J7" Magnetic Grey and it's too light the OEM Spoiler it's darker.

When you get a chance, you might want to use the taillight alignment mod thread on your LH taillight. It’s a common assembly error.

Can you send me a link? I don't find anything.

I wonder what the taillight alignment mod does. I have it too on both sides and thought it was actually the decklid what was misaligned. But the decklid seemed to be set the only way it could be, with no leeway for an adjustment.

On the other hand the taillights look to be fine.

There is another mod that involves using a rubber spacer in one of the taillight mounting posts to bring the light to align with the tail panel but I cannot locate the link. It was popular.

A few sites claim to sell it, but list the part number as KR3Z-6344210-AA. This is instead the gloss black GT500 variant, which comes with the GT500 price tag, just as a Mach 1 version will.

I was able to find that Herrod Performance in Australia shows this page for the particular 2021 Mach 1 version:
https://www.herrodperformance.com.au/2021-mustang-mach-1-handling-package-rear-spoiler-gurney-flap/

The part number is HP21-0103-AA, which starts with HP, so that is a Herrod specific number for them. They may be able to help you figure out the original Ford number though.

A cheaper route would likely be to purchase the same part from Ford Performance
(M-16600-FP) at roughly $500 and have it painted. LMR is currently selling it for $499.99 with free shipping (I just bought one myself to do this same thing). The paint color is Ford's own Magnetic Metallic paint (paint code 5FM6), but sprayed over with a matte finish. It requires a dark gray base laid down first. @raidernixon had his painted and stated it was done in the "equivalent to a stage 4 satin clear coat" per his shop. Attached below is the paint code on the underside of his base Mach 1 spoiler.

Thank you very much, you have been super helpful. I will order one today and have it painted. I really appreciate this site and so far everyone has been super helpful and without any of the typical crap on so many other sites!
