Would anyone have a list of paint codes available for a 2017 Mondeo in particular ruby red. Ford could not give it to me no surprise there. Very hard to track down. I want to do a touch up in three spots. TIA Pete.

Plot thickens for paint codes.
Got my Ruby Red touch up today. Paint code is as follows. FORD Europe: DSTEWTA,PNEAM,M,K,A,RR,JA,RV,R2,7XK,7. The paint code encompasses multiple cars manufacturers using the one paint type for their vehicles. Ruby red is used across various cars such as Mazda 6 uses two types of reds. The paint code for them is somewhere in the above. It痴 as though the manufacturers go to the paint companies and choose paints of charts. The more classier the colour the better it sells. The ruby red in mica I知 told will be a mongrel to match up due to the process used or how it is applied to the car. Good luck hunting down your rare colours...Pete |

Hi Pete.
Good luck on your mission. I was in a similar position last year. Couldn't find a paint code anywhere on the car (2018 18.25 Ruby Red Trend Hatch). Approached Ford with my VIN, and ended up with two codes. RJA & RU. GT pointed out RJA above. I questioned the dealer as to why they couldn't narrow it down to one, and was told Ford's Ruby Red vehicles are produced in Spain, USA & Belgium, so each maybe slightly different. Good Luck !

The lesson learnt here is stick to basic colours and stay away from metallics altogether. We just acquired this mica red 12/2016 Trend hatch. My wife loved the colour. Personally I値l be staying with plain colours in future.
 Otherwise great car in turbo petrol. No issues. Cheers Pete |

Hi,
My dealer gave me the PNEAM code for the Mondeo, and the paint centre was able to confirm the colour through their "look up" computer system. I ended up with two touch up bottles, one for the intermediate coat and one for the top coat - and quite specific advice that I ought not mix up the application order. I have a couple of very narrow scratches on the panel above the lift gate window that shows a cream/white colour which, I suppose, is the base coat. Because it is right in my eye line it is very annoying, but I'm hesitating about trying a fix because I could easily make it worse. Just a comment, I was told the Mazda red was unique to that manufacturer and I have been able to look at the two colours close together and , in my view, although they are close they are not the same. If you had a Mazda red panel on a Ruby Red Mondeo there would be, I think, a quite serious mismatch. Cheers

Hiya,
Paint codes are on the door plate ie, RE or DSTE ruby red, J7 - FM6E Magnetic etc. Mondeos are made in Spain and given different colour codes to the rest of the world. I used to be a automotive paint rep so that's how I know this. Oh and don't bother going to the dealer for paint codes etc , go to an Automotive paint distributor. Dealers can't find their own back ends with a road map. |

Yes it seemed like my local ford dealer lost the codes.
Thanks for the update Pete |
