Where to find Ford color code

How to Find Your Ford's Color Code

Ford paint color codes are on the drivers door jamb, on the color plate. The typical format is PM/M6599, though usually only PM appears. Example: PM corresponds to Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat PM/M6599; it may appear as PM Bright Calypso Metallic Clearcoat. Plates may show Exterior Paint Colors or EX PT; sometimes the color is embossed mid-plate. WB is wheelbase; above Wheel Base is EXT PNT, and to the right of EXT PNT is the code. Many mistake LX3 as the code.

Your Paint Color Profile

Ultra Red

The Look

This is the definitive red of the early nineties Ford era. If you drive a Bronco or an F-150 from this window, you know this shade defines the rugged, clean look of that generation. It lacks the orange undertones of earlier reds and the darker, maroon leanings of later palettes. It is a pure, unapologetic primary red. Whether it is on a Windstar or a work truck, this color was designed to stand out against the chrome bumpers and black trim of the day. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for three decades, you are probably dealing with some level of sun-fade, as these older red pigments are known to lose their punch over time.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Ford Ultra Red (check for code WH/M6500), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a solid finish, which is a major advantage for your repair. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearl particles to worry about, you do not have to worry about the "mottling" or tiger stripes that plague silver and gold cars. The pigments are heavy and provide excellent coverage, but they are sensitive to the sun. If your original paint has turned a bit pink or chalky, you may notice the fresh paint looks darker. This is simply the nature of 90s-era single-stage and basecoat reds.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a black sticker; the code is usually listed next to the "EXT PNT" label. Because red is such a high-energy color, it shows every transition. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how the new paint reacts to the current state of your finish. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to avoid puddling. If you are using a pen or brush, apply the paint in thin layers rather than one heavy blob. Give the surface enough drying time between coats so the solvents can escape, ensuring the final finish stays level and smooth once it hardens in your garage or the shade.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Ford Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Ford is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Ford color code 'WH/M6500' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
