Ford Super Duty Truck Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford didn't hold back when they filled the paint booths for the Super Duty. We've logged 21 distinct colors for this beast, and they really went for it with the naming. Whether you're driving the high-visibility Screaming Yellow, the rugged Dark Copper Metallic, or the ubiquitous Oxford White, your truck was built to stand out-or at least be visible from a low-flying aircraft. With shades like Dark Shadow Gunmetal Grey and Toreador Red, Ford clearly wanted these workhorses to look as good at a Sunday car show as they do on a muddy job site.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. If you're seeing some flaking on your Oxford White hood or a little bubbling along the edges of the aluminum panels, don't panic. These big trucks have a lot of surface area to protect, and the leading edges of the hood and the door handles are prime real estate for chips and "peel-off syndrome." Before you start, you'll need your specific code. Open the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb; you're looking for the two-digit code right next to EXT PNT. If it's a metallic or "Effect" color, those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle, so give it a good workout before you open it.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using a touch-up pen or brush on these "Effect" colors-like Dark Green Satin or True Blue-patience is your best tool. These paints are packed with metallic flakes that need to lay down flat to catch the light correctly. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, think in "whispers." Apply a very thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then come back for a second pass. This prevents the metallic particles from clumping together and looking like a dark spot. If you're working on a vertical surface like a door, less is more; you want the paint to stay in the chip, not join the gravity club and run down the side of your truck.
