How to Find Your Mercury Tracer (Mexico Production)'s Color Code

Mercury places the paint color code on the drivers door jamb. On the color plate, the code appears near EX PT (Exterior Paint), typically above or below; sometimes the actual color is embossed on the plate and not where expected. The typical format is WT/M6640, but the M6640 part is rarely used and often only WT appears. WT corresponds to Performance White Clearcoat. Pre 1970 Mercurys can be problematic due to same-name, different-color issues and different codes.

The Color Breakdown

The Mercury Tracer (Mexico Production) didn't just blend into the background; it arrived in a surprisingly vibrant palette of 23 different colors. From the sophisticated Antique Gold Metallic to the arguably delicious-sounding Wild Strawberry Metallic and Mimosa, the designers at the Hermosillo plant really went for it. Whether you're rocking a classic Oxford White or the moody Twilight Blue Metallic, these cars were part of a colorful era where Mercury was trying to prove that "small and sensible" didn't have to mean "boring and beige" (even though they actually offered two different versions of Light Beige).

What to Watch For

If you're noticing that your Tracer looks a little "flaky" lately, you aren't alone. These models are notorious for clear coat delamination-that's the fancy way of saying the shiny top layer is starting to peel off in white, crispy sheets, particularly on the hood, roof, and trunk. Before you start dabbing paint, you need to find your identity: pop open the driver's side door and look for a sticker on the jamb. You're hunting for a two-character code (like UA for Black or YG for Medium Titanium). If the edges of your existing paint feel sharp or crusty where it's peeling, just use a fingernail or a soft plastic scraper to flick away the loose bits before you begin.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Tracer colors are "Metallic" or "Spice," you have to treat that little touch-up bottle like a cocktail-shake it for at least 60 seconds. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and if you don't wake them up, your Sandalwood Spice will look more like plain mud. When applying, remember the Paint Whisperer's golden rule: Thin is In. If you're using a touch-up pen or brush, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Dab a tiny amount in the center, let it dry for 15 minutes, and come back for a second pass. It requires a bit of patience, but it prevents that "globby" look that screams "I did this in my driveway."
