motorcraft paint
My Motorcraft touch up paint does not match. My label on the door jam has code YN and CX. Im touching up the trim- CX, but it is much lighter in color. ARe there any variations in this color code CX? I found a special paints list online that list Med. Pk. Platinum PMP-19500-7060G.
The CX is PMP-19500-7039A.
It looked close when applying, but after drying its much lighter... now I have a poka dot bumper.

Kinda just means the paint wasn't mixed properly, in my opinion. I've used "touch up" spray cans from automotivetouchup.com to paint a few small plastic things and it's a pretty good match.
I think touch-up pens might not look right without clear on top of it? This is touch up from Motorcraft?

I don't think it should need clear coat, just throwing a possibility out there because I don't know how off the colors actually are. But I'd still say it isn't mixed properly if it's off by that much.

Here's a pic. This is second attempt and same results. shook tube for several minutes. Paint code is CX- dark shadow gray..but looks like sliver. Could it be a bad tube of paint?

Hmm . . . that definitely doesn't look like the right color. I've seen worse touchup, but that's definitely bad. I'd say it's a bad tube, but I'm not a touch-up pro.
I'd like someone else to chime in if they have different ideas. But I work at a dealership, and even though I'm pretty sure we make our own touch-up (not positive), it looks better than that almost every time.
