Where to find Ford color code

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.

How to fix automotive damage using a spray can

  • Check for Color Match

    1. Check for Color Match

    Shake the product for at least 60 seconds before use. Test the paint on a scrap of plastic or metal. Allow to dry and check for color accuracy before starting on your vehicle.

  • Clean & Prep

    2. Clean & Prep

    Wash and dry the damaged area. Lightly sand rough edges if needed.

  • Protect Undamaged Areas

    3. Protect Undamaged Areas

    Using automotive masking tape and plastic, mask around the damaged area. For best results, tape off at panel boundaries rather than just around the damage.

  • Prime the Surface

    4. Prime the Surface

    If any bare metal or plastic is visible, apply primer to seal it. Let each layer dry completely.

  • Spray Basecoat Layer

    5. Spray Basecoat Layer

    For best results, apply between 60–80°F in low humidity. Use steady, overlapping sweeps and adjust your distance (around 6-12in) and speed to achieve an even, wet-looking coat. Allow paint to dry between layers.

  • Add Shine with Clearcoat

    6. Add Shine with Clearcoat

    Apply clearcoat using smooth layers to seal in the basecoat paint. Allow each coat to dry before adding another.

  • Polish and Shine

    7. Polish and Shine

    Use a rag to buff the surface with rubbing compound. This smooths and polishes the glossy finish.

  • Hooray! You're done!

    8. Hooray! You're done!

    Wipe clean and enjoy your new repair! Allow the repair 3 days to fully set before applying any wax or polish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a smooth, professional finish using the spray can?

For best results, shake the can vigorously for at least one minute before use. Spray 6–8 inches from the surface, applying several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow each coat to dry for 5–10 minutes. Finish with a clearcoat spray for a deep, glossy shine and extra protection.

How much area can one spray can cover?

Each 12 oz spray can typically covers about 6–8 square feet, depending on the color and the number of coats applied. This is usually enough for one to two medium panels, such as a door or bumper section. If you have a tricoat color, you will need to use layer both colors in order to achieve a seamless repair.

Do I need to use primer and clearcoat with the basecoat spray?

Primer is necessary if the damage reaches down to bare metal or plastic. After your color coats have dried, it is essential that you apply clearcoat to seal the paint and enhance gloss. This 3-step system (primer, basecoat, clearcoat) matches OEM standards and ensures long-term durability.

Can I blend the spray can paint into surrounding areas for a seamless look?

Yes, blending is possible with proper technique. Lightly feather the edges of your spray pattern into the surrounding paint, then apply clearcoat over the entire area. For best results, apply paint to the entire panel, stopping at a natural boundary (such as a door).

What types of repairs is the spray can best suited for?

The spray can is ideal for larger-sized repairs such as bumpers, fenders, hoods, and door panels. It provides even, factory-matched color coverage for areas too large for a touch-up pen but not large enough to justify a professional spray-gun setup.

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Ford Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Ford is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Ford color code '7-S (1977)' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need clearcoat?

Clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

Depending on the size of the damage, here's what we recommend:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Because paint is custom-mixed, cancellations aren’t possible. But if there’s a color match issue, we’ll give you your money back!

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
