StephenFord Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Have looked in usual places, drivers door jamb, under bonnet, can't see anything, and the paperwork with the car helpfully tells me it is blue! Where would I find the accurate paint code just to order some touch up paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFord Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Gosh, could Ford have made that any more obscure? Most makes put the word 'paint' beside the code on label to avoid dimwits like me asking such basic questions. Also, a 'google' on G3 paint gives gold and blue in results, so far, not too impressed...😊 G3 ford paint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie1973 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hi. Can somebody please help? I have a 2019 Focus ST-Line X in Desert Island blue metallic. For the life of me I cannot find the paint code. The plate in the door shut has no listing for paint. Google searches are inconsistently coming back with JDCE but I'm not 100% convinced. Never had a car where paint code isn't clearly listed. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunseeker Pauline Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Hi Stephen, I'm just going through the same problem for our Ford Focus 2005 that you did. G3 is coming up Pueblo Gold and not Aquarius. Did you finally get the correct spray paint and if so where from please? Many thanks Pauline Edited August 16, 2020 by Sunseeker Pauline Gave incorrect information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Pauline Yes, I did get a small bottle of touch up paint from my favourite shop - eBay. (Just noticed, I bought it 18 months ago, and despite being used regularly, there's still about 80% left!) Here's the link where I bought it...

Monks600 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Bang your vin in to ETIS and it will tell you your colour and you can grab the ‘ford’ special code name for the paint from there.I absolutely hate fords paint naming convention... trying to get the matching paint for ‘spirit blue’ was a nightmare... could be Pearl, could be metallic... could just be blue... the joys!

Frowma Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Luckily enough, Ford Europe only have a tiny amount of Blues 🙄 https://colorndrive.com/gb/touch-up-paint/ford-europe-focus?year=&baseColor=BLUE I got my kit from these guys on eBay, good price and speedy delivery, not had to use it yet, thankfully. http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/myldanautodesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowma Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I only used that site to find the code, and that isn't even Ford, goodness know how much they'd charge! I paid £7:50 from the eBay link I put. They've got Aquarius https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-AQUARIUS-BLUE-PAINT-TOUCH-UP-PEN-FIESTA-FOCUS-ST-MONDEO-KUGA-EDGE-ETC-/162580374356 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
