Your Paint Color Profile

8Z/6114 - Sandlewood Metallic

The Look

Your Lincoln has been cruising for four decades, and this color is the reason it still carries that heavy, mid-eighties prestige. This isn't a flat beige or a boring tan; it is a warm, bronze-leaning earth tone that feels exactly like a 1985 Town Car or Mark VII should. It was designed to look expensive under streetlights and stay clean-looking even after a long road trip. Because it is a 1985-exclusive shade, you are preserving a very specific moment in luxury history.

Technical Details

This finish is a traditional metallic, meaning it is loaded with fine flakes that catch the light. The age of your car is your biggest hurdle here. Since your Lincoln has likely lived through forty years of sun and weather, the original finish has almost certainly shifted or lightened. When you apply new paint, it might look slightly deeper than the surrounding area. Metallics are also prone to mottling, where the flakes bunch up and create dark patches if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Sandlewood Metallic (check for code 8Z/6114), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. You will find that code on the silver identification sticker located on your driver's door jamb. Work in your garage or in the shade to keep the metal cool. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to see how the metallic settles. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving in steady strokes. If you linger in one spot while the paint is flowing, the flakes will sink and ruin the shimmer. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish builds up evenly rather than puddling.

ensuring the right match

Find your Lincoln paint code

Lincoln color codes are always on the drivers door jamb. On the color plate, EX PT (for Exterior Paint) appears, with the paint code located above or below; sometimes the actual color is embossed on the plate and not where expected. Typical format: WT/M6640, though M6640 is rarely shown and typically only WT appears. WT corresponds to Performance White Clearcoat. Pre 1970 Lincolns can be problematic due to same names with different codes.

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.
