Ford Harbor Blue (7 (1967)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Harbor Blue is a quintessential 1967 shade that feels like a snapshot of a mid-century coastal town. Because it was used across almost all Ford models that year-from the Galaxie to the heavy-duty trucks-it carries a utilitarian charm that avoids the flashiness of the Mustang-specific palettes. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over half a century, the original finish has likely developed a unique character and perhaps a slight shift in tone, so you should expect the new paint to look a bit richer than the weathered sections of your car.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair. Unlike metallic paints that require you to worry about how tiny flakes settle or reflect light, a solid blue like this provides consistent depth across the entire surface. You do not have to worry about mottling or dark stripes appearing in the finish. The main challenge with a pigment-heavy color from this era is ensuring you don't apply it too thick, as solid blues can sometimes show heavy edges if you over-apply the product in a single pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Harbor Blue (check for code 7 (1967)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your original data plate on the driver's side door pillar or the rear edge of the door to verify you have the right match. To get the best results in your garage, test the color on the included card first to see how the pigment looks once it dries. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains even and the layer stays thin. Give the paint plenty of drying time between applications to build the color gradually.
