Your Paint Color Profile

7 (1968) - Blue

The Look

This isn't the high-gloss metallic found on a showroom Mustang. Instead, this shade represents the blue-collar soul of the 1968 Ford lineup. It is a deep, honest blue that was the standard for fleet vehicles and utility models. Because your car has been facing the elements for over half a century, the original finish has likely flattened out or shifted in tone. This color is about restoration and utility rather than flash, providing a clean, period-correct appearance that anchors the look of a classic workhorse.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you don't have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark "mottled" spots. Solid colors are generally more forgiving during application, but they are incredibly revealing when it comes to surface prep. Because there is no glitter to distract the eye, every ripple or sanding mark will show through the pigment. Blue is also notorious for showing oxidation and "chalking" over time, so ensure you have cleaned the area thoroughly to remove any dead paint before you begin your repair.

Best Practices

You will find your warranty plate riveted to the driver's side door jamb, usually just below the latch. Before you spray or dab Ford Blue (check for code 7 (1968)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a heavy-pigment era color, and the solids like to settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to see how it matches your weathered finish before touching the car. To avoid runs or drips, keep the container moving across the repair area and wait for the proper drying time between each thin layer. If you are working in a garage or under the shade, make sure you have plenty of natural light to see the flow and coverage.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Ford's Color 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.
