Once you've added custom color paint to your cart, you will need clearcoat and (depending on your damage) other non-paint products to complete your repair.

Your Paint Color Profile

KR/M7111 - Norsea Blue Metallic

The Look

This blue isn't a standard navy. It was a professional choice for the mid-2000s Ford lineup, designed to give the Escape and Freestyle an executive presence. It carries a heavy dose of slate in its undertone, which helps it look clean even when it carries road dust. Since your car has spent twenty years navigating the elements, the original finish might have shifted, but this specific blue holds its character over time.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it relies on suspended flakes to create its depth. The way those flakes lay down determines how the repair matches the rest of the panel. If the paint goes on too heavy, the flakes bunch together and create dark, shadowy patches. To keep the finish uniform, you need to build the color with light coats rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass. Keeping the container moving ensures the metallic particles settle flat against the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Norsea Blue Metallic (check for code KR/M7111), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can confirm your match by checking the sticker on the driver's side door jamb for the "EXT PNT" label. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic flake settles. Always work in a garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Allow enough drying time between layers so the paint can level out. If you use a pen, dab the center of the chip and let the liquid find the edges.

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.
