Do manufacturers use the same color codes for different makes?

We are often asked if a Ford paint code is the same paint color as a Lincoln paint code. YES, it is common for manufacturers to share colors across multiple makes.

For example, Mopar (Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth/Jeep) paint code PS5 (Silverstone Metallic) is available for a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Chrysler Sebring.

So, if you don’t find your Lincoln paint code, try Ford!!!

Common car companies with multiple makes:

-Chrysler Corporation: Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, Plymouth

-Ford Motor Company: Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda

-General Motors: Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer
