Need help with paint code

Hey guys,

I need to find the paint code for my truck. The tag on the door is blank for the paint code. I will post a few pictures and maybe someone will be able to get me a code. Thanks.

Call or take your vin number to your local Ford dealer and he can tell you. Post a picture of your door tag and someone may can help you from there as well.

I personally can't tell what color your truck is with all that green grass around it in the first two pics and the 3rd pic doesn't help either.

Check this post. It should help you figure out the code. LINK

The problem is, it doesn't have the correct VIN#. The truck according to the VIN# is a black crew cab...

The door tag also is blank for the paint code. I have a few paint chips that I would like to touch up.

Here is another photo.

Sounds like a custom paint job. Take the truck to an auto paint shop and they may be able to tell you the color for a match.

Don't know the color, but it's purdy.

Its a factory color, I pulled the weather stripping and even took off the door panels. How many shades of gold did they have for the '02 model year?

I emailed FoMoCo the VIN#, and they mailed me the build sheet. It basically said this truck was an F-250 Crew Cab Lariat with Leather interior, and all options. But this truck is an XL.

Something fishy goin' on...

I'd say.

Isn't the VIN posted somewhere else on the truck?

Thanks for the link Barry, reps sent. The Arizona Beige Clearcoat Metallic looks like the only one that resembles my truck.

This VIN is on both the door tag and the tag on the dash... It has me stumped.

Does the
VIN on the dash match the VIN on the door panel?

EDIT: you answered first.
