Tu Tone Paint Code?????

My 01 X paint code is "FU" which is a very dark green and the trim is a very dark grey silver color. I went to the dealer and they could not tell me the paint code to order some touch up. Any ideas??

thx

Bob

The dark green in 2001 was Estate Green, paint code ST.

The cladding color is Platinum, but I can't find a code for it.

FU is indeed a paint code. My Excursion was paint code FU.

So just tell the boys at the counter "FU"...especially if they don't get you some touch up paint.

Sorry, you're right. FU.

You can buy it online at www.paintscratch.com. They have it.

No platinum. Sorry.

lol...I called the ford 800 number and spoke to some nice old lady. She gave me some additional letters "DK C/C" but couldn't tell me what it stood for. So I called the dealer and they had no clue. Said it wasn't Tu Tone but "Accent colors" and I'd have to bring it in to the paint guys so they could see it and mix it up for me. Figures. Let me see.....$2.50 for touch up will turn in to...
1 hour @ $80/hr then probably a minimum volume mix of a pint....$20....HECK it should only cost me a $100 dollars to fix my scratches!!!!

Hmm why don't they keep that stuff in stock? I fear that if they are going to mix it it isn't going to match just right...

What exactly does your door sticker say for paint? I can't remember if there is even a blank for the second color. Mine is a black bottom

Good Luck.

All that is on my sticker is FU. I got the other info "DK" by giving my VIN to the little old lady at Ford's 800 number.

Under the paint code you have...
WB-wheelbase
BRK-braking system
INT TR-interior trim
TP/PS-tape/paint pinstripe
R-radio
AXLE-axle
TR-transmission
SPR-spring

What does the TP/PS code show?

Ok, is there anything beside the FU paint code above the TP/PS? The shop manual lists YN silver metallic for the Excursion.
