Ford Rich Copper Pearl (B6) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color arrived as a high-impact statement for the sixth-generation Explorer. It is a deep, burnt-orange shade that sits somewhere between a classic copper and a glowing sunset, making your SUV stand out in a sea of grayscale commuters. Because it was only available for the 2020 model year, it remains a rare sight on the road. Keeping this specific finish clean is vital because the depth of the color depends entirely on how the light interacts with the surface of your vehicle.

Technical Details

This is a complex pearl finish, meaning it contains mica or ceramic crystals rather than just standard metallic flakes. These particles give the paint its "flop," or the way the color seems to shift and glow as you walk around the car. The challenge with a pearl like this is that the heavy particles want to sink to the bottom of the container. If you don't mix them thoroughly, the repair will look like a flat brown rather than a glowing copper. You also run the risk of mottling-where the flakes clump together and create dark spots-if the paint is applied too heavily in a single pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Rich Copper Pearl (check for code B6), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find that code on the driver's side door jamb label, specifically listed under the EXT PNT heading. To get the best match, work in your garage or in the shade so the sun doesn't shorten your drying time. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the pearl flakes are distributing evenly. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid pooling, and use thin layers to build the color depth slowly.
