Where is the paint code on a 2015 Ford Transit?
The paint code for a 2015 Ford Transit is a small alphanumeric identifier printed on the vehicle’s door-jamb label, used to identify the exact factory color for touch-ups or repainting.
In practice, you should start with the driver's door jamb sticker, but depending on the market and vehicle options, the code may also appear on other labels such as the passenger door jamb, the engine bay/radiator support label, or (less commonly) inside the glove box. The following guide explains where to look and how to read it.
Where to look for the paint code
These are the most reliable locations to locate the paint color identifier on a 2015 Transit.
- Driver’s side door jamb label: The primary source. Open the driver's door and inspect the edge of the door frame and the B-pillar area. Look for a small line that says “Paint,” “Exterior Color,” or “EXTERIOR” followed by a 3–4 character code.
- Passenger door jamb label: Some vehicles carry a similar label on the passenger side door jamb. Check there if the driver’s side label is missing or illegible.
- Engine bay/radiator support area: In certain regions or trim levels, the paint code may appear on a label near the radiator support or inner fender. Look for a sticker with “Paint” or “Exterior” language and the code.
- Glove box or service booklet: Rarely, the color code is listed in the maintenance booklet or on a sticker inside the glove box. If the door labels aren’t readable, this is worth checking.
Concluding: In most cases, the driver’s door jamb label will contain the paint code. If you can’t locate it there, inspect other labels around the engine bay or passenger door, and if still unsuccessful, contact a Ford dealer with your VIN for the exact color code.
Interpreting the paint code and using it
The paint code is a compact alphanumeric identifier that your body shop or paint supplier uses to match the exact color and finish (solid, metallic, or pearlescent). When ordering touch-up paint or a full repaint, provide the code precisely as it appears on the label. Note that some codes distinguish color family from shade, so including the market-specific code helps ensure an accurate match. If in doubt, have the dealer or a reputable collision shop verify the code against your VIN.
Summary
To locate the 2015 Ford Transit paint code, check the driver’s door jamb label first for the “Paint” or “Exterior Color” entry. If that label isn’t legible or present, inspect the passenger door jamb, the engine bay/radiator support area, or the glove box/service booklet. Use the identified code to order the correct touch-up paint or to communicate with a body shop for a color match, and if you’re unsure, contact a Ford dealer with your VIN for confirmation.
