Paint ID help...

<TABLE width="100%" border=0 itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top itxtvisited="1">I just picked up an awesome 96 F250 4x4 crew (pics in my gallery)..I want to touch up a few nicks and scratches. I looked at the door tag to try and decipher the paint code for ordering (was planning on using paintscratch.com), but not having any luck identifying my color. Can't find any codes that tell me anything...As near as I can tell, it is either reef blue metallic, medium calypso metallic, calypso metallic or teal metallic. They are all close...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

on your door tag there is a code field if you drive the truck to any body shop they should be able to tell you what that code stands for for free. Also you could probably call any autobody supply store in your area with that code and they could tell you over the phone.
Keep in mind that a 13 yr old truck could have been repainted and it may not match the color code from factory anymore.
