Your Paint Color Profile

W5684 - Hugger Orange (Dupont G8839)

The Look

If you are driving a truck painted in this high-visibility shade, you aren't trying to fly under the radar. This color was a staple for the F-Series between 2003 and 2009, often chosen for fleet vehicles or owners who wanted their workhorse to stand out on a crowded job site. It is a loud, confident orange that demands attention. Since your Ford has likely been on the road for over fifteen years, keep in mind that the sun has probably mellowed the original vibrance slightly, especially on the hood and roof where UV exposure is highest.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Ford Hugger Orange (Dupont G8839) (check for code W5684), you need to know that this is a solid finish. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearls to hide behind, this paint is incredibly honest-it shows every ripple and ridge if the surface isn't smooth. The benefit is that it's far easier to match than a metallic, but the trade-off is that deep scratches can appear as bright white scars against the orange. Solid colors like this can sometimes look a bit "thin" during the first pass, so do not try to get total coverage all at once.

Best Practices

You will find your color code printed on the vehicle identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. When you are ready to work, move the truck into a covered garage or a patch of solid shade; direct sunlight will bake the paint before it has a chance to level out. Shake your container for at least a full minute to ensure the heavy orange pigments are fully mixed. Before touching the truck, test the color on the included card to verify the shade. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid buildup. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to build up a durable, uniform finish.

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.
