COLOR CODER7/Y6 - Light Titanium MetallicFord Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the early nineties era of the Ford Probe. It is a technical silver that gives the car a precise, industrial appearance. Because your car has been on the road for decades, the original paint has faced years of weathering. This shade is forgiving. It hides road grime and dust better than other finishes from that period. It provides a clean look that stays true to the aerodynamic design of the car.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. It contains tiny flakes of aluminum to create the silver glow. These flakes are the reason the repair requires patience. If you apply the paint in a thick layer, the flakes bunch together in puddles. This creates dark patches or stripes that make the repair stand out. You want the flakes to lay in thin layers. This helps the light reflect in a way that matches the rest of the body.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and check the sticker on the jamb to find your color information. Before you spray or dab Ford Light Titanium Metallic (check for code R7/Y6), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing step is the only way to get those metallic flakes off the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is a match for your panels. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to ensure a steady flow. Use thin coats and allow for ample drying time between each one. This layering technique prevents the paint from sagging and keeps the metallic particles in place.
