Finding your Ford Econoline paint code

Common places to find your Ford Econoline paint code include:

• UA – Black
• UJ – Sterling Gray Metallic
• TO – School Bus Yellow
• E4 – Vermillion Red

The code itself is typically a two-character alphanumeric code, such as "YZ" for Oxford White or "UA" for Black. If the sticker is missing or unreadable, you can also check the owner’s manual, contact a Ford dealership, or use the vehicle identification number (VIN) to look up the original paint color. Ensuring you have the correct code will help you get a perfect match for touch-ups or full repaints.
