Your Paint Color Profile

MM/35/M6459 - Ultra Blue Metallic

The Look

This is a workhorse blue with a heavy dose of industrial pride. Released specifically for the 1990 model year and seen primarily on the heavy-duty rigs rolling out of the Kentucky Truck plant, this color was built to look professional under a layer of road grime. It is a deep, authoritative shade that avoids looking like a typical navy by leaning into its bright metallic roots. Since your truck has been facing the elements for over thirty years, the original finish has likely developed its own character. This blue is meant to look stout, and once you get it onto the panel, you will see why it was the go-to choice for the big F-series and commercial builds of that era.

Technical Details

Because this is a metallic finish, the way you handle the application determines how well it matches. The tiny metallic flakes inside the paint act like mirrors. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will sink and bunch up, creating dark spots or tiger stripes that ruin the effect. To get those flakes to lay flat and catch the light evenly, you need to be mindful of your flow. This isn't a simple solid color where you can just glob it on and hope for the best. Success with this finish depends on thin, even layers that allow the metallic components to distribute themselves naturally across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Ultra Blue Metallic (check for code MM/35/M6459), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb, usually printed on a white VIN sticker next to the "EXT PNT" label. To ensure the flakes are properly suspended, keep the container moving during the entire process. Work in a cool garage or the shade, as direct heat will shorten your drying time and cause the paint to clump. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the truck to see how the metallic behaves. Apply your coats with a steady rhythm to keep the finish uniform and prevent the dreaded mottling effect common with older Ford blues.

ensuring the right match

Find your Ford paint 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.
