Your Paint Color Profile

K (1969) - Freudian Gilt Irid

The Look

This is not your average retirement-home tan. Born in the peak of the counterculture era, this color belongs to a family of legendary 1969 shades with names that teased the establishment. Since your Ford has been on the road for over half a century, the original finish has likely developed its own unique character and patina. This gold is heavy on the 1960s swagger and looks best when it catches the direct afternoon sun, which brings out the depth that standard solids simply cannot match.

Technical Details

The "Irid" in the name is short for Iridescent, which means you are dealing with a metallic finish. These finishes are notoriously opinionated because they rely on tiny flakes to reflect light. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will sink and create dark, blotchy patches. To keep the finish looking uniform, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and even. It is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a smudge of dark grease.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Freudian Gilt Irid (check for code K (1969)), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal data plate located on the driver's side door jamb. When you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, test the color on the included card first to see how it reacts to the light. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the metallic particles from bunching up. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy pass.

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.
