Ford Focus Colour Paint Code? - caesar
Can somebody advise please!!
I have just bought a used w reg focus estate.
Problem is it has some stone chips on the front that i want to touch up but all i know is the colour is silver.
Can anybody tell me where the colour code plate is(if they still have them)please because i cant seem to find it under the bonnet.
If there isn't a colour plate can anybody tell me how I find out the colour code??? Thanks

Go to a Ford dealer and they can look it up from VIN or reg number.

I would expect the aluminium plate giving the car's specification details to be on the top of the horizontal piece of metal that the bonnet catch goes through. Mine is just under the air intake duct inlet. The absence of this plate would make me curious about the car's history. Are there two rivet holes about 100 mm apart where the plate used to be attached?

Mine is just under the air intake too.

It says A8 and I was told by the paint sprayer bloke that that was the paint code.
