COLOR CODEP1/M7134 - Lime Gold MetallicFord Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a direct nod to the sixties, resurrected for the 2005 Mustang launch. It carries a heavy retro vibe that bridges the gap between a vintage pea-green and a modern high-shimmer gold. It is a bold, polarizing choice that defines the early S197 generation. Since your car has likely spent two decades facing the sun, the original finish may have shifted slightly in hue, so your main goal is blending this distinct glow back into the surrounding panels.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the appearance relies entirely on how the tiny flakes settle within the paint. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, which creates dark spots or "tiger stripes" if the application is uneven. If you stay in one spot too long, the flakes will bunch up and ruin the effect. To get a consistent look that matches the rest of the car, you must apply light layers rather than one heavy coat.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Lime Gold Metallic (check for code P1/M7134), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. You will find that paint code on the driver's side door jamb, listed on the safety compliance label under the "EXT PNT" heading. Those metallic flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom, so mixing is the only way to ensure the color matches. Test the color on the included card to see how the shimmer looks once it dries. Work in the shade and keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metal from pooling. Give the surface a few minutes of drying time between layers to let the pigment set properly.
