Your Paint Color Profile

E (1969) - Sky View Blue (PPG 12997)

The Look

If you are restoring a 1969 Mustang or a classic Galaxie, you are handling a piece of Ford's softer side. This color is an airy, optimistic pastel that defined the standard look of the late sixties. While the high-performance models were screaming for attention in Grabber colors, this shade offered a clean, sophisticated alternative for everyday drivers. Since your car has been on the road for over half a century, you are likely dealing with some level of surface oxidation or original paint that has lightened under the sun. This new batch will be crisp and full-strength, so it might appear slightly deeper than your weathered panels until it is fully blended.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls hiding in the mix. The good news is that you don't have to worry about "mottling" or those dark, tiger-stripe patterns that plague metallic jobs. However, solid light blues are notorious for being somewhat transparent. If you try to cover a dark primer or a deep scratch in one heavy pass, you will likely see the shadow of the damage underneath. Because there is no flake to distract the eye, your surface prep in the garage or shade needs to be smooth; any sanding marks will show through this pigment once it dries.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the metal warranty plate located on the driver's side door jamb, usually listed right under the word "COLOR." Before you spray or dab Ford Sky View Blue (PPG 12997) (check for code E (1969)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are fully suspended. Do not skip this; light blues can settle and come out streaky if not mixed. Test the color on the included card first to see how it reacts to your light. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. This color performs best with several light layers rather than one thick coat, so give it plenty of drying time between passes to ensure a hard, durable finish.

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.
