Ford Kentucky Truck Touch Up Paint (70 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant didn't just build trucks; they built a rolling rainbow. With 70 colors recorded, they really went for it. We're talking about everything from the workhorse School Bus Yellow and Special White to the surprisingly flashy Wild Strawberry Pearl Metallic and Rose Quartz. Whether your truck is dressed in Bahama Blue or the deep Bronze Black Pearl, you're driving a piece of heavy-duty history. They even threw in some Bright Orange for the folks who want to be seen from space.

What to Watch For

To find your specific shade, head to the driver's side door jamb. Look for the VIN sticker and find the code labeled EXT PNT (it's usually two characters). Now, these trucks are built tough, but the paint has a few sensitive spots. Keep a close eye on the edges of the hood and around the door handles; you might notice some small "bubbles" trying to lift the paint. If you see them, don't wait-tackling those early keeps the metal happy. Also, because these trucks have plenty of surface area, the roof and hood can get a bit tired from the sun, so keep those areas clean and protected.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Kentucky colors-like Crystal Pearl or Medium Regatta Blue-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, your touch-up bottle needs a serious workout. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes (play a song if you have to) to wake up the sparkles. When you apply it, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a deeper color like Dark Currant Red, it requires patience-build the color up in two thin layers rather than one big glob, and you'll get a much smoother look.
