need some help finding out what my original paint code was, when i got the car it had 6 layers of paint.
Well, without more documentation, it is not as easy as just looking at the codes on the ID tag. As you can see the color is missing. It is most likely missing because the 6 digit DSO shows that the car was special ordered. That may indicate a special paint color too. Car was ordered for the Charlotte NC district - #22. If you do not have a build sheet (sometimes, not always, they can be found easy under the seats - sometimes not so easy under the carpet) and you don't have any of the original paperwork - the best you can do is order the Marti Report for the car. That will give you the color. Once upon a time you could call Ford and request a "999 report" which while nowhere near as good as a Marti Report, would tell you the color. But I've heard they no longer do these reports. But still, a phone call is free and might be worth a shot.
With the six digit DSO & blank paint code, 99.9% special order paint. Sometimes due to special promotions but usually customer wanted a color that was offered on Mustang, Torino, LTD etc. A Marti report may not have the color, seen a few that stated actual color unknown. Best bet is look under carpet, or other area that still have orig paint.
