Find Your Light Truck Color & Paint Code
Ford makes it fairly easy to find the color code. It is always on the drivers door jamb. Ford color codes are simple - just two digits which can be numbers and letters. The illustration below is based on the a typical Ford color ID tag and shows where to find a Ford color code.
Ford Paint Code Location:
In the example above, the color code is "PM" which corresponds to Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat. Not too hard, right?
Pre 1970 Fords can be problematic though. Ford was calling different paint colors the exact same name so a Ocean Blue in 1966 was completely different from an Ocean Blue in 1967. Different color code too.
Typical color code format for Ford
PM/M6599
In our example plate above, the code is PM which corresponds to our:
Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat PM/M6599.
However, you will rarely ever see the M6599 part.
You will typically just see PM. The color plate above shows Exterior Paint
Colors but often the color plate will show EX PT (for
Exterior Paint, but I bet you knew this already??) and then above or below
this, you will see the color code. To make matters just a tad confusing,
sometimes the actual color is embossed on the plate right in the middle and not where one
would expect it.
We get lots of emails from customers thinking their color code is LX3 which would
make sense given the location!
PM Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat.
Two Tone Combination
Ford has many two tone combinations for some cars. Two tones are two
different colors on your car. Ford did not do a great job with two
tone color coding and often the secondary color information is just
missing so this makes it impossible to know without borrowing a color book
from us what colors you actually have.
Same Color Code, Different Name
Ford, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many
models and then will have a different color name for each model. It's the
same paint! This is why the color code is so important to order
the correct paint.
For example, PM/M6599 above we call Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Bright Green Clearcoat, Speed Green Clearcoat, etc. depending on what the marketing department decided to call it.
