Where is the paint code on a Ford?

Safety compliance certification label on the driver's door jamb. Two characters next to EXT PNT, for example UH (Agate Black) or YZ (Oxford White).

Step by step

1. Open the driver's door and find the certification label on the B-pillar or door edge.
2. Read the field marked EXT PNT near the bottom of the label.

North American Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models use two-character codes. European Fords use a different system (see Ford Europe).

No label?

Labels fade or go missing after repairs. A Ford dealer can read the original colour from the VIN, and the service booklet often lists it. If the car has been resprayed, have a painted part (the fuel filler flap is ideal) scanned at a paint shop.
