Where is the color code on a Ford B Max?
The color code on a Ford B-Max is typically printed on a label inside the car, usually located on the driver's door jamb or inside the glove box. It’s a short alphanumeric code used to identify the exact exterior paint color for touch-up work or repainting.
Because Ford used a few different labels over the model years and markets, the exact location can vary. If you can’t find the code in the most common spots, check other data labels or your vehicle’s documentation, or contact a Ford dealer with your VIN to retrieve the precise color code.
Where to look for the color code
Start with the most common spots. If you can't find it there, check the alternative locations described below.
- Driver's door jamb or B-pillar label: A small sticker or plate on the door frame near the latch that lists the paint code along with other vehicle data.
- Glove box area: Open the glove box and inspect the inner edge or underside of the lid for a label that lists "Paint" or "Color" code.
- Boot/spare wheel area: In some B-Max configurations the label may be in the boot near the spare wheel well or side panel.
- VIN plate or engine bay label: If the code isn’t on the above, look for the main data label that includes the paint code near the VIN plate in the engine bay or inside the door frame.
Note: Location can vary by year and market. If you still can't locate the color code, consult your owner's manual or contact a Ford dealer with your VIN for the exact code.
What the color code looks like and how to use it
Ford paint codes are typically short alphanumeric strings, usually two or three characters long. When you order touch-up paint or a repair, provide the color code along with your vehicle year and trim to ensure a correct match. The full color name and code are often listed together on the label.
Summary
In brief, start by checking the driver's door jamb or the glove box—the most common locations for the Ford B-Max paint code. If you can't find it there, check additional data labels or contact a Ford dealer with your VIN to confirm the exact color code for your car.
