Where to find Ford color code

Find Your 1998 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.

1998 Ford Background Info

The 1998 Ford Vibe

Welcome to 1998, the year the "jellybean" F-Series and the rounded Taurus were absolutely everywhere. Whether you were hauling the family in a Windstar or showing off a New Edge Mustang, Ford was leaning hard into the "Ovoid" design era-lots of curves and even more metallic flake. We've got 17 of the era's heavy hitters in our database, including the legendary Dark Satin Green Metallic and that deep, moody Toreador Red Pearl Metallic that seemed to be on every third Explorer and Expedition in the parking lot. It was a time of transition: the boxy 80s were dead, and the world was obsessed with deep forest greens and shimmering silvers like Silver Frost Metallic.

Paint Health Check

Since we're sitting smack in the middle of The Peeling Era (1985-2005), let's be real: your Ford is likely showing its age in the form of "clear coat sunburn." By '98, Ford was using a high-solids basecoat/clearcoat system that looked a million bucks on the showroom floor, but 25+ years of UV rays have likely started the delamination dance. If you see white, flaky edges around your stone chips on the hood of your Ranger or the roof of your Crown Vic, that's the clear coat losing its grip. Once the clear lifts, the pigment underneath is defenseless. If your Oxford White looks more like a topographical map of the moon, you're dealing with the classic "Ford Peel."

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for this era: Seal the perimeter. When you're touching up a chip on a '98, you aren't just filling a hole; you're performing a structural rescue. Before you apply your color, use a fine-grit sanding pen to very gently smooth down any loose "shelves" of clear coat around the chip. If you leave a flap of clear coat hanging, our fresh paint will just crawl under it and eventually lift the whole patch. Once the edges are stable, build your Vermillion or Medium Wedgewood Metallic in thin, patient layers. You want to "lock down" the edge of the factory clear coat to stop the peeling in its tracks.
