How to Apply Ford Touch Up Paint

A good Ford touch up repair is mostly prep. Take your time. Here is the order that gives you a clean, factory-look finish.

  1. Clean and dry the spot. Wash off dirt, wax and grease so the paint bonds properly.
  2. Confirm your color. Check the Ford paint code on the driver door jamb against the color you ordered.
  3. Prime bare metal. If the chip goes down to metal, lay a thin coat of primer first.
  4. Build the basecoat in thin layers. Wait 10 to 15 minutes between coats so the paint sets without running.
  5. Add midcoat and clearcoat where needed. Metallic, pearl and tricoat colors need the midcoat, then seal everything with clearcoat.
  6. Let it cure, then polish. Once dry, a light polish blends the repair into the surrounding paint.

Where to find Ford color code

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.

Ford Background Info

About Ford Paint

Ford's own factory touch up paint is sold under the Motorcraft name. Our custom-mixed colors are matched to that same OEM standard, so you get a Motorcraft-equivalent match without hunting down a dealer part number. Modern Fords use a tough clearcoat that keeps the color glossy and scratch-resistant for years, while older classics like a 1960s Mustang wear a softer paint that polishes easily but needs a gentler touch. If your paint has faded in the sun, polish the area first so the fresh color blends into the panel.

Application Tips

Ford paint is known for being very easy to work with whether you are spraying it or using a small brush for touch-ups. It flows out smoothly, which helps you avoid lumps or uneven spots. Because many newer Ford colors have a metallic or "pearl" shimmer, it is best to apply the paint in thin layers to make sure the sparkle looks even across the whole surface.

Quick Summary

  • Paint Feel: Medium-Hard. It is tough enough to handle the weather, but it isn't so hard that it's difficult to sand or fix.
  • Best Advice: Always check the sticker on the driver's side door jamb for a two-digit code. This code is the only way to make sure your new paint perfectly matches the rest of your car.
  • Pro Tip: For a factory-perfect finish, wait about 10 to 15 minutes between each coat of paint. This helps the paint "set up" so it doesn't run or sag.
