My Edge 2400 arrived today. The pod is not the silver color that was displayed in the brochure picture, instead, it's black. I want to paint my Edge pod to match the silver on my 06 dash.

Any numbers or specific colors would be appreciated.

Thanks
Greg

 

Well,since you have a Lariat, that silverish color on the dash will have to be custom mixed, thats what I had to do for my EDGE pod. You can buy something off the shelf, but it won't be a dead on perfect match.

 

Thanks for the reply. I called Edge and inquired about the color but the guy had no clue and suggested I contact the dealership for a color match. (Nice hand-off) The image used to market this product on discountpowerparts tells me that someone knows which spray-paint to buy. Edge could have made this easier and provided that info in the manual.

 

Do a search in this forum and also try the 2004+ forum. This has been discussed numerous times and all the relevant paint codes have been discussed.

 

Thank you sir

 

If you can't find it...let me know and I'll see if I can't come across some links for ya.

 

The paint code is Dupont Vinyl 3Q4
Color-Warm Steel


Hope this helps

 

Check out my gallery, I have all the paint colors and what not in there. Its not a dead on match, but very close. If anything id say its a little lighter.

 

Just go to ford and get a can of spraypaint. I did it and it's an exact match. They can get it in any color, even the color of the non painted plastic parts. It's expensive, ($17.00) but it matches EXACTLY texture and all!

 

The dealership actually has the paint in the parts department?

 

Thanks man... I'll check with the dealership.

 

i went to my local autoshop that also has a paint department...they have all the paint chips in their book and made me a custom can of paint to match..from the ford truck interior color chart.. I think this is the best way to get the closest match and you dont have to wait for or pay the dealers price.....

 

Yeah. I told them my trim code (on door jamb) and they ordered it. It came in about 2 days. It is a perfect match. It was kinda high for a can of spraypaint, but it worked great. It is VERY tough, expecially to be on plastic. I didn't sand it or anything. I just cleaned all the dust off, and sprayed it with contact cleaner (to remove fingerprints). I told them the wrong color. They gave me the dash color, not the trim color, but it looks ok. At least it matches the rest of the dash!

 

Hi Chester.

Ford has a trim code for Georgia Peanut Dust??? Wow.
