Hi new here but have a paint code question.

[GalaxyF]

Little confused to how Ford paint codes work, I checked the details on the car and been told it's the one that says A8 on the plate.

 

When checking charts online I seem to get different results to what type of blue it actually is. 

 

Does anyone understand or definitely know what A8 is? 

Many thanks.

Ford codes are strange, the codes refer to the colour and year of introduction as the colours vary slightly depending on that year.
Best way to get your true colour is check your car details here-

If you want to see the full build details of your car just register as an independent operator (IO), just fill the registration with any old rubbish, it doesn't matter.

Blazer Blue it says on there, now I really am confused as that's the third different colour I've encountered. 

Also would like to know if the Smax and Galaxy share the front ends during the 07-15 as they look similar and I'm looking for a bonnet.

Bonnets the same, just 2 variants depending on age.

Did notice the grill design looks different just wasn't sure. Many thanks. 

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy ford OEM parts? I don't mind second hand either as I'm debating to respray if I cannot find the right one

gala motors do 2nd hand ford parts.
