COLOR CODEF6/M7085 - Ceramic White Pearl TricoatLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the luxury standard for Lincoln during the mid-2000s, appearing on the refined Aviator, the sleek LS, and the rugged Mark L. It is not a flat, sterile white. Instead, it has a soft, ivory-leaning glow that mimics the finish of high-end porcelain. Since your vehicle has been on the road since the 2003 to 2006 era, the finish has likely developed a deeper cream character over time. This shade is excellent for hiding light road dust, but because it relies on depth rather than just pigment, a quick dab or spray requires a careful touch to look right.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl tricoat, which is a three-step process consisting of a base, a translucent pearl mid-layer, and a clear protector. This is a complex finish because the pearl layer is see-through. The more layers of pearl you apply, the darker and more yellow the repair will appear. This creates a conflict: you need enough pearl to get that signature glow, but too much will make the repair stand out against the original paint. Because this finish relies on light reflecting through different layers, the thickness of your application determines the final color match.

Best Practices

Locate your identification sticker on the driver's side door jamb; the code is listed next to the "EXT PNT" text. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Ceramic White Pearl Tricoat (check for code F6/M7085), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to properly mix the pearl particles. Work in a cool garage rather than in direct sun. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and avoid heavy spots. Always test the color on the included card to determine exactly how many layers of pearl you need to match the current state of your car. Ensure you allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer so the finish stays crisp and level.
