call the dealer and give them ur vin, sometimes they can get the paint code from that. i manage a body shop and we run into this from time to time.

Vin #1FAFP42X82F140424

If you could break it down for me each letter and code in the vin that would be awesome

You could also log on to Autozone and look up touch up paint for your year and model, If you know the colors name you can get the paint code from them too.

Looks to be Laser Red - E9 from a quick Google Search using that VIN, if this ad is indeed your car - LINK

Unfortunatly they dont make E9 touch up. I tried every where in three towns to get it and ended up buying Redfire cause its really close for just rock chip touching up.

FoMoCo still offers "Laser Red" (E9) touch-up in the 1/2 fl-oz bottle, or if your looking for "bulk" any body shope should be able to mix you a qt or however much you need........

Any idea on how much Ford would charge for that Randy?

Not sure if many other owners of this color are having the problems I am having, though my rear bumper looks horrible on the top

most touch-up paints in the 1/2 fl-oz bottle are @$8.00 wholesale

Interesting, I figured the dealers would mark it way up. I doubt my small local dealer has it, though I imagine he could get it?

I know you know your stuff Randy and I wish the local dealers were more helpful. I called Dick Scott Ford, Anderson Ford and the Ford Licncoln dealer in Waco and they all said no E9 touch up paint, not avaliable. I called a pain shop in Corsicana and he said he could get me close but since Laser Red is a candied two stage paint there is no way to make a touch up paint for it Was he just wrong?
I ended up getting Redfire and its really close, some spots you cant even tell. I then waxed the whole car with Meguiers NXG wax and that helped the paint get deeper to match the touch up paint.

if its a 2 stage paint then making some touch up is no problem, if its a 3 stage paint u may have a problem.

Try this place they claim to have the paint in spray and bottle if the dealerships wont help you.

I went to the local ford dealership and asked them to give me the E9 touch up paint but what they brought me was mint green?? They showed me a manual where it had all the paint codes and pointed to e9 which did reference it as mint green... so now im really confused I didnt write down the part number here Ill return tommorrow with the part number
