Ford Touch Up Paint - Guaranteed Exact OEM Color Match

For Ford, 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. If that label is missing or hard to read, use the Ford paint code guide or ask a dealer parts department to look up the code by VIN.

It is usually a short group of letters, numbers, or both on the vehicle label. It is not the VIN, and it is usually shorter than the color name.

No. The VIN can help a dealer find the paint code, but it is not the paint code you should select on the order page.

Ask a dealer parts department to look up the paint code by VIN, or check the original paperwork. If the vehicle was repainted, confirm the current paint before ordering paint mixed by the original code.

For Ford touch up paint, choose by repair size: pen for tiny chips, bottle for small chips or short scratches, spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. A kit is useful when primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies are needed with the paint.

It is matched to the same OEM color standard. We custom-mix your Ford color from the factory paint code, so the finish matches your car the same way a Motorcraft touch up paint would, in pen, bottle or spray can formats.

Each thin coat sets in about 10 to 15 minutes. Leave the full repair to cure for a day or two before polishing, and longer in cold or humid conditions.

The paint is matched to your original factory color. If the surrounding panel has faded, polish or compound it first so the fresh, true color blends in rather than sitting brighter than the worn paint around it.
