Your Paint Color Profile

62 (1979) - Antique Cream

The Look

This shade is a pure snapshot of 1979. It appeared across the Ford lineup for just that single year, finding a home on everything from the rugged F-Series pickups to the classic Bronco. Because your vehicle has been around for over four decades, the original finish has likely developed a character of its own. This color isn't a bright, sterile white; it has a warm, buttery undertone that feels substantial. It provides a soft, vintage aesthetic that defines the end of the seventies, looking particularly right on those heavy steel body lines.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is great news for your repair. Since there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about, you won't have to deal with the paint looking darker or lighter based on the angle of your stroke. However, solid colors are honest. They show every ripple and ridge in the surface. Because the pigment is dense, you need to watch out for ridges where the new paint meets the old. Since this is a lighter cream, it handles road dust well, but any grease or oil will stand out against the pale background.

Best Practices

Before you begin to apply Ford Antique Cream (always double-check for code 62 (1979) on the plate inside your driver's side door jamb), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Heavy pigments in solid colors like this can settle at the bottom, and you need a uniform mix for an accurate match. Test the color on the included card to see how it looks against your specific panel. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool, and give each layer plenty of drying time so the paint can shrink down and level out naturally.

ensuring the right match

Find your Ford paint code

Ford paint color codes are on the drivers door jamb, on the color plate. The typical format is PM/M6599, though usually only PM appears. Example: PM corresponds to Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat PM/M6599; it may appear as PM Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat. Plates may show Exterior Paint Colors or EX PT; sometimes the color is embossed mid-plate. WB is wheelbase; above Wheel Base is EXT PNT, and to the right of EXT PNT is the code. Many mistake LX3 as the code.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
