Where can I find my Ford Edge paint code?
You’ll usually find the Ford Edge paint code on the driver’s side door jamb sticker; if it isn’t there, check the glove box, trunk label, or the engine bay. You can also retrieve the code by entering the VIN on Ford’s official site or by asking a dealership.
Common locations to check on your Edge
These are the most reliable spots to locate the exterior paint code across many Edge model years. Start with the door jamb, then move outward to other labels if needed.
- Driver’s side door jamb sticker: Look for a label on the door frame that lists exterior paint or color code, usually a short alphanumeric string (2–3 characters).
- Glove box label: Some models place the exterior paint code on a label inside the glove box along with other option and build details.
- Trunk or spare tire well label: Certain configurations put an additional label in the trunk area near the latch or inside the spare tire well with the color code.
- Engine bay/radiator support label: A label in the engine compartment or on the radiator support may display the exterior color code.
- VIN-based lookup at Ford or with a dealer: If labels aren’t visible, you can use your VIN on Ford’s Owner site or contact a dealer to pull the exact paint code from the build data.
In most cases, one of these locations will display the color code. If you still can’t locate it, a Ford dealer or qualified body shop can identify the code from your VIN or by color matching.
Understanding and using the paint code
The exterior paint code is typically a short alphanumeric string (commonly 2–3 characters) that identifies the color; it is not the full color name. Use this code to order touch-up paint or to confirm the exact color when discussing repairs with paint shops or parts departments.
How to use the code effectively
When ordering paint or arranging a repair, provide: the year, make, model (Ford Edge), and the exterior paint code. If your vehicle has a metallic or tri-coat finish, the code may refer to the base color, and the final shade is achieved with the appropriate topcoat; always verify with the supplier or dealer to ensure a precise match.
If you’re unsure about the code’s reliability or its exact location, take clear photos of any labels you find and contact your local Ford dealer for confirmation. They can cross-check with the VIN to confirm the correct color.
Summary
The Ford Edge paint code is most often found on the driver’s door jamb sticker, with alternative locations including the glove box, trunk area, and engine bay labels. If labels aren’t visible, use the vehicle’s VIN on Ford’s Owner site or contact a dealer to retrieve the color code. The code is a short alphanumeric identifier used to order the correct touch-up paint and to ensure color accuracy in repairs.
