COLOR CODECW/M7478 - Robins Egg BlueFord Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a heavy dose of nostalgia. Ford brought it back specifically for the Heritage Edition Bronco to mirror the 1966 original, and it hits the mark perfectly. It is a soft, creamy pastel that looks more like a vintage appliance than a modern truck. Since your Bronco is designed to stand out, this shade does most of the heavy lifting for you. It feels substantial and deliberate, especially when paired with white accents. It is the kind of color that makes a brand-new vehicle feel like a timeless family heirloom.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a classic solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl effects hiding in the pigment to distract the eye, which makes it an honest color. The benefit here is that you do not have to worry about flakes laying down the wrong way or creating dark spots. The trade-off is that solid blues are very revealing. They show every bit of texture and every dip in the surface. If you are filling a deep chip, you will notice that the pigment is rich and covers well, but you must build it up in thin layers to keep the surface flat and consistent with the factory finish.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code located on the identification sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Ford Robins Egg Blue (check for code CW/M7478), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Because this is a solid color, the heavy pigments tend to settle at the bottom, and skipping the shake will result in a translucent look that won't match. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is fully mixed. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow and avoid heavy build-up. Work in the shade to ensure the paint does not dry too quickly, and always give it plenty of drying time between layers.
