Your Paint Color Profile

P-TRUCK (1970) - Boxwood Green

The Look

Boxwood Green is the soul of the 1970 Ford truck lineup. If you are working on an F-100 or a rugged F-250, you already know this color defines the iconic "Bumpside" era. It is an earthy, honest green that feels both vintage and utilitarian. Since your truck has likely spent decades working outdoors, the original finish might have developed a soft patina or a slightly chalky texture. Adding fresh paint will help restore that saturated, factory-fresh depth that made these pickups stand out in the driveway and on the job site.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a major advantage for your repair. Because it contains no metallic flakes or pearls, the color is consistent from every angle. You do not have to worry about "mottling" or the uneven, cloudy look that often happens with metallic paints. The high pigment load in this green provides excellent coverage over primer or old scratches. It is a forgiving color to apply, though you should remember that solid greens can show fine swirl marks if you rub them too hard before the paint is fully cured.

Best Practices

You can verify your color by looking at the identification plate located on the driver side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Ford Boxwood Green (check for code P-TRUCK (1970)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing step is vital to get the pigment right. Do not start on the metal immediately; instead, test the color on the included card to see how it looks against your aged paint. If you are using a spray, keep the container moving in steady, even passes to prevent pooling. Work in a protected Garage or in the Shade to keep the metal cool. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish builds up into a durable, protective shell.

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.
