Ford GT Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Ford gave the GT a palette that screams "winner's circle," with 33 recorded colors that range from the patriotically bold Medium Royal Blue Metallic to the unapologetic Screaming Yellow. Whether you're rocking the stealthy Tungsten Gray Metallic or the fiery Colorado Red, it's clear the designers really went for it. They didn't build this car to hide in a garage; they built it to look like it's moving at 200 mph even when it's parked in your driveway.
What to Watch For
To find your specific color match, head over to the driver's side door jamb-you'll find a two-digit code on the manufacturing sticker. Now, because the GT is a mix of high-tech aluminum and lightweight composites, the paint can be a bit of a diva. Keep a close eye on the leading edges of the hood and the wheel wells; you might spot some tiny "character bubbles" where the paint meets the aluminum. Don't panic-it's a common quirk of the car's exotic skin, and it's nothing a little focused attention can't handle.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many GT colors are packed with metallic flakes (looking at you, Redfire Pearl), your first job is to shake that touch-up bottle like it owes you money-give it a solid 60 seconds of agitation to wake up those sparkles. When you're ready to apply, don't try to "paint" the scratch. Instead, use the very tip of your brush or pen to "dab" the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow outward. It requires a bit of patience, but thin layers are your best friend. If the chip is deep, let it dry for half an hour and come back for one more tiny drop to level it out.
