Paint Codes

[xm-221 1,803]

Going through my computer tonight I found a .pdf file that has scans of all the paints codes from the XD,XE spare parts manual that was used at Ford when ordering a new car.

I've copied these codes straight from the book and decided to post them up in here.

I will add to this list as soon as I hunt down the other codes (it's late and I cbf'd).

might be a fleet colour, My XE pano (pretty sure it was ex police) had a Y something and was a yellow

[BGBLOK 7]

Well people, letter from Ford says Y045, Corporate Blue, XB colour, extra "5" on the plate was a freebie from Ford but under the rear seat and a couple of other places where the paint looks like new from the factory it appears to have very fine metallic in it.

Well it turns out it is a 1 of 1 car, only one built!..351 4 speed LSD single tramp rod car, company special ordered who wants it!.. full resto needed but very very small amount of rust repair to do!.  14/05/2020 UPDATE! car was sold to a guy in Newcastle that is restoring it now, when he stripped the engine he found its stock bore with all original gaskets and seals so likely it had never been pulled apart before. He also found stamped on the block M WEBB and a date 2 months before it was built... 

I't'll make a nice addition to his car collection.

you could ring 13ford for a verification letter, they'd send you out a build sheet and possibly tell you over the phone.
 

[Chiggidy 1]

I was actually on the phone ordering the sheet today but I came across this post and forgot to get the color code, spilled the beans a bit on that one, however I did ask her if she knew if there may be some legit original left over paint somewhere, I know it’s a bit of a stupid question but if you don’t ask you’ll never know

[HIKFRD 11]

old post i know .. does any one have info on paint code DU on a 1993 XG panelvan ??

[SPArKy_Dave 9,235]

XG panelvans were only available in x3 colours to my knowledge -

Stark White/Dynamic White

Lemans Red

And a light blue colour

I think that's a metallic colour - which the XG utes had?

The Panelvan blue, was a solid sky blue colour.

[408WPN 36]

Looking for paint codes on my 1985 Ford Fairmont 351c. 

Pretty sure had a respray at some stage at the current code on firewall is CI2.

Below spontaneous photo's of my car & a XE Fairmont ESP in Zircon Green (the bottom photo in the collage photo is mine,probably miles apart but hey)

or pearl green in the last photo. Feel free to add in your 5c worth. 

Cheers from over the ditch
