Your Paint Color Profile

P (1962) - Silver Moss Poly

The Look

The 1962 Ford lineup was all about finding the middle ground, specifically with the launch of the intermediate Fairlane and the continued dominance of the Falcon. This color is the quintessential mid-century choice for a driver who wanted something more sophisticated than a standard solid gray but wasn't ready for a loud, flashy red. It is a muted, earthy green-silver that captures the "unabashed practicality" Ford was known for during this era. Since your car has likely seen decades of sun and road miles, the original finish has probably mellowed, making this a very forgiving color for blending away age-related battle scars.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, denoted by the "Poly" in the name. Because it contains fine aluminum flakes, the way you apply it changes how the light hits the repair. If you apply the paint too thick or too quickly, the metallic particles will sink and bunch together, which makes the color look darker than the rest of the panel. You want the flakes to stand up and catch the light evenly. This isn't a solid color where you can just pile it on; you need to build the color with light, even layers to ensure the metallic shimmer remains consistent across the surface of your Falcon or Fairlane.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint data plate on the rear face of the driver's door or the door pillar. Before you spray or dab Ford Silver Moss Poly (check for code P (1962)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is non-negotiable for metallic paints because the heavy flakes settle at the bottom of the container. Once mixed, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves. If you are working in a Garage or the Shade, make sure you have plenty of light so you can see the flake orientation. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots. Give each layer enough drying time so the paint doesn't sag, and the final result will blend much better with your classic Ford's original character.

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.
