2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty Paint Color Codes

Quick Reference

Where To Find Your Paint Code

For your 2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the paint code is located on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, which is typically found on the driver's side door jamb or the B-pillar. This sticker contains a wealth of information about your truck, including the exterior paint code. Look for the label on the edge of the driver's door or the pillar it latches to. The code is usually found under the "EXT PNT" or "EXT TR" heading. It’s a two-character code, like "YZ" for Oxford White.

How To Use Touch-up Paint

1. Clean: Thoroughly clean the chipped or scratched area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover to ensure the paint adheres properly.
2. Primer: For deeper scratches that have gone down to the bare metal, apply a thin layer of automotive primer to seal the area and provide a good base for the paint.
3. Base Coat: Apply thin, even coats of the color-matched base coat, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Build up the color until it is level with the surrounding paint.
4. Clear Coat: After the base coat has fully cured, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish that matches the factory clear coat.

Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats

Colors like Ruby Red Metallic (RR) and White Platinum (UG) are pearl or tri-coat finishes, which can be more challenging to match. These paints have a translucent mid-coat that creates depth and a unique shimmer. For a successful repair, it is crucial to apply the base coat and then the pearlescent mid-coat in thin, even layers. The final color and effect are highly dependent on the thickness of these layers. For this reason, it's often best to leave tri-coat repairs to a professional unless you have experience with this type of paint.
