Ford Twister Orange Pearl (CA/M7434) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was the face of the 2020 Mustang GT500 launch and for good reason. It is an aggressive, high-energy orange that feels like it was pulled straight from a racing circuit. Because your Mustang was built to stand out, every small chip or scratch on that bright surface becomes a focal point that breaks the flow of the car. Since these models have likely seen a fair amount of sun or track time since 2020, the paint has a specific energy you need to match. It is not just orange; it is a statement of performance.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid orange. The depth comes from how light passes through layers and bounces off the microscopic particles suspended in the finish. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the repair will look darker than the surrounding area because you have changed the density of those particles. This finish is prone to looking different from various angles if you do not focus on thin, even layers. You are essentially building a 3D effect on a 2D surface, so patience with the layering process determines how well the repair disappears into the original finish.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Ford Twister Orange Pearl (check for code CA/M7434), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pearl flakes are fully suspended and not sitting at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your specific panel before you touch the car. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling or uneven distribution of the metallic elements. Work in a Garage or the Shade to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time, which can cause the paint to clump or settle poorly.
