COLOR CODEBG/M7421 - Baltic Sea Green MetallicFord Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Ford only ran this color on the Edge and Escape for a single model year, which means your car carries a relatively rare finish. It is a deep, moody teal that shifts from a near-black in the shade to a dark forest green under direct sunlight. Since your car has likely been on the road for several years now, the original clear coat might have some light oxidation, making this dark shade a bit more sensitive to color matching than a simple white or silver. This depth is excellent for hiding road grime, but the dark base will show every swirl mark if you are not careful with your maintenance.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning the paint is full of heavy metallic flakes that provide that signature shimmer. Before you spray or dab Ford Baltic Sea Green Metallic (check for code BG/M7421), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. These flakes have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the container, which can lead to a patchy or mottled look if they are not distributed properly. If you see dark streaks or spots in your repair, it usually means the flakes bunched together instead of laying flat. Keep the container moving during application to ensure the metallic particles stay even across the surface.

Best Practices

You can find your official color information on the driver's side door jamb label, listed right next to the "EXT PNT" text. Before you apply anything to your car, test the color on the included card to confirm the flake density matches your factory finish. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, work in thin, light layers. Heavy layers will cause the dark pigment to pool, which often makes the touched-up area look darker than the surrounding paint. Give the paint plenty of drying time between these light coats to ensure the repair sets level.
