Ford Galaxie Touch Up Paint (22 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford didn't just build a car with the Galaxie; they built a rolling lounge for the Jet Age. With 22 recorded colors, they really went for it. Whether you're rocking the deep Raven Black, the shimmering Honey Gold Poly, or the vibrant Midnight Turquoise, these colors were designed to look fast even when parked at a drive-in. They even provided specific codes for White (Interior) trim, because back then, Ford knew your dashboard deserved just as much swagger as your fenders.

What to Watch For

Because these classic finishes have spent decades under the sun, they are prone to "chalking" or fading, especially on those massive flat surfaces like the hood and trunk. Keep a close eye on the areas where the paint meets the chrome trim or door handles; the finish tends to get brittle there, leading to small chips that want to invite rust to the party. To find your exact match, look for the metal "Warranty Plate" located on the driver's side door edge or door jamb. You are looking for a code right above the word "COLOR."

Driveway Repair Tip

If your Galaxie features a "Poly" name-like Silver Blue Poly or Ivy Green Poly-that's vintage-speak for metallic. These colors require a little extra patience and a strong arm. Those tiny metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle like they're trying to hide. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up the sparkles before you apply it. When you're ready to fix a chip, use a "dabbing" motion rather than a "painting" motion; building up the color in thin layers will give you a much smoother result than one thick blob.
