Shelter Green Metallic opinions?

[SGT Ranger]

The more and more time that goes by I am probably going to have my dealer switch mine over to Oxford White like my current ranger. Can't go wrong with classic white/black two tone.

I love it. My first thought was "baby poo green" and then eventually settled on loving the detail in the gold flakes. Gives a cool olive green vibe in certain lighting. I dunno, wanted something unique for such a unique vehicle

…In fact I was able to find a model paint manufacturer in Europe that clones Ford paint codes but scales the flake for model kits. It’s a true three stage kit and the plan was to build a die cast clone of my Ex for display...

Not to change the subject, but do you have a link? I have a Bronco model on order, and I’d love to be able to replicate Cyber Orange to scale…?

It’s called Gravity Colors. Do not buy the Gravity Colors from the US, they’re a knockoff scam. Gravity colors in Europe are the original.

Not the greatest photos but it hasn’t been the most tasteful choice to me. Rarely looks anything better than just okay.

I'm kind of hoping that my truck doesn't get scheduled until after the Houston auto show in January, and hoping that Ford bring an SGM Raptor to the show so I can see it in person. I've seen a few pictures of it that look really good, but most look way too brown. Hoping that it looks better in person.

Might end up swapping it for Oxford White, but for now I'm holding the SGM order.

Looks like they're doing some industry events. This video has a pretty good representation of SGM.

Does Ford publish color swatches or hex codes for their paints?

There’s no use for hex codes because most colors have flakes or pearls that change the tone of the paint. Paint is rarely a solid color.

But there are resources online to look up paint codes. Doubt they’re updated to a model that hasn’t been released. I don’t recall ever seen paint swatches being sent to dealers. But if you knew a body shop and they new the paint code they could probably spray a swatch for you for A fee.

Lexus has me

tal plates with all their paint colors in the showrooms.
