No I looked to the far right on the same line.

You want me to look above the exterior Paint?

A can of touch up paint from NAPA would not be the Pearl, would it.

I was thinking it might have been JL too. "EDIT: SORRY, I didn't catch the pearl part. Either way-->" the correct touch-up paint will be sort of a mix, but to do it 100% correctly, you will need to get some clear coat touch up to put over the color.

BTW, just to add:

RC is for a regional code and DSO is for a dealer special order code.

My '99 is a JL with B2 on the bottom.



The JL ran from 97 to 99.

The B2(Harvest Gold) ran from 99 to 01, prior to 99 it was a Prairie or Saddle shade.

I guess Ford would run a shade for about three years straight,
and they would bring them back later if they were popular.
