Ford Pastel Sandalwood (64/6333) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule from 1989, a year when Ford was leaning hard into warm, functional earth tones for its utility lineup. Whether it is on your Ranger, Bronco II, or the side of an Aerostar, this shade represents the tail end of the 1980s aesthetic. It is a soft, muted tan that does a fantastic job of hiding road dust and trail grime. Because your vehicle has been on the road for over three decades, the original finish has likely taken on a flatter, more matte character from the sun. Your new paint will have more life and depth, so a little blending will go a long way in making the repair disappear.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your job much simpler than if you were dealing with a metallic. You do not have to worry about tiny flakes of metal or pearl settling unevenly or changing shade based on the angle of the sun. However, solid light colors like this are notorious for showing a hard edge if you apply them too thickly in one spot. Before you spray or dab Ford Pastel Sandalwood (check for code 64/6333), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy tan pigments are fully suspended so the color comes out exactly as the factory intended.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the silver or white certification label located on the driver's side door jamb. Look for the "EXT PNT" or "Exterior Paint" entry. To get a perfect result in your garage or under the shade of a tree, always test the color on the included card first. This allows you to see how the new paint interacts with your specific level of finish fade. When you are ready to work on the vehicle, keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid any pooling or drips. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers, as building up the color slowly is much better than trying to cover the damage in one heavy pass.
