Where to find your paint code
For the 2016 Ford F-250, the paint code is located on the driver's side door jamb on a sticker called the Safety Compliance Certification Label. This label contains various information about your vehicle, including the exterior paint code. Look for the letters "EXT PNT" and the two-character code next to it is your paint code.
Best touch-up paint sources
- Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of popular Ford colors in various applicators, from pens to spray cans.
- AutomotiveTouchup: Provides custom-mixed paints in all sizes, ensuring a closer match to your specific paint code.
- Tcoat custom-mix: A great option for a professional-grade finish, especially for tri-coats and pearls.
- Ford Dealership: Your local dealer can provide a guaranteed match for your vehicle's paint code.
How to use touch-up paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of primer to the bare metal or plastic.
- Base: Apply the color coat in thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry completely.
- Clear: Finish with a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.
Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats
- Pearls: These paints have a multi-dimensional look that can be challenging to match. It's recommended to use a spray application for a more even blend.
- Tri-coats: These paints have a base coat, a mid-coat (pearl), and a clear coat. Each layer must be applied correctly to achieve the desired effect. It's best to leave tri-coat repairs to a professional.
