COLOR CODE28909 - Medium Parchment (Interior)Ford Touch-Up Paint

The Look

If you spend your time behind the wheel of an early 2000s F-Series or an Expedition, you are likely very familiar with this specific shade of tan. It was the standard-bearer for Ford cabins during that era, designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that hides daily dust and work grime better than almost any other color. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for twenty years, the interior plastic has lived through a lot of sun exposure, which means your existing trim might be slightly lighter or yellower than it was the day it left the factory.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark spots. The lack of pearl or mica makes the color match more predictable, but solid colors are unforgiving when it comes to surface texture. Interior plastics from this generation have a specific grain, and if you apply your paint too heavily, you risk leveling out that grain and leaving a flat, smooth patch that looks out of place. The goal is to restore the color while preserving the feel of the original molded material.

Best Practices

You can find your interior trim data on the driver's side door jamb sticker, usually located under the "INT TR" label. Before you spray or dab Ford Medium Parchment (Interior) (check for code 28909), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card to see how well it aligns with your specific level of interior wear. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving and use light, misting layers. This prevents the paint from pooling in the plastic grain and allows for a consistent drying time so you can build up the coverage gradually.
