Hi,

how do I find out what colour paint I need for touching up?

Under the bonnet is a plaque with the following entries

F           long number
M          long number (chassis number?)
W          number  kg
B           number  kg
AU        number  kg
DI          number  kg
S           DAW

I wrote them down and went into my local independent car shop but none
of the numbers on the plaque match any of the codes in the paint
catalogue.

I couldn't find any other plaques, maybe I will have to go to a main
dealer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Interpreting European VIN codes (does not contain a paint code):

Item #13 on the Vehicle Certification Label on the B pillar
door jamb is the paint code on U.S. Fords.

if this is an EU vehicle the DI you mention should be D1

D = Machine Silver
1 = 2001

ford part no. 1320171 - touch up stick or part no. 1307254 -

Thanks, yes machine silver it is - thank you, but it was registered in
2004 so I have a dodge car or is that the date when the colour was
introduced.
