Your Paint Color Profile

F (1956) - Pine Ridge Green Metallic

The Look

This color is a mid-century time capsule. Because it was only available for the 1956 model year, it carries a level of rarity you won't find with the more common whites or blacks of the era. Whether it is coating a Fairlane Victoria or a beefy Country Squire wagon, this shade captures that specific 1950s optimism. It is a deep, forest-inspired hue that avoids looking too "muddy" thanks to its metallic depth. Since your car has likely seen decades of sun and road wear, keep in mind that the original factory richness might be a bit deeper than your weathered hood, but it remains the definitive look for a high-trim Ford from that golden year.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that provide its signature shimmer. These flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not keep the paint properly mixed, you will end up with "mottling"-those dark, cloudy patches or stripes where the flakes bunched up or stayed in the bottle. To get a consistent look across the repair, you have to maintain a steady flow and a consistent spray distance. This ensures the flakes lay down flat and reflect light evenly rather than standing on edge and looking gritty.

Best Practices

You can find your data plate riveted to the driver's side door pillar, which is where you can confirm your factory color info. Before you spray or dab Ford Pine Ridge Green Metallic (check for code F (1956)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for a metallic; you are fighting gravity to get those flakes back into the solution. Once mixed, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles. When you move to the car in your garage or a patch of shade, apply light, even layers and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Let the drying time work for you between layers so the metallic particles have a chance to lock into place before the next pass.

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.
