Does anyone happen to know the paint code for the thin silver strip running underneath the front bumper of the RR? I need to do some touch-up. Fwiw I'm not talking about the front skid plate that extends up a bit. Thanks

I’m Pretty sure it’s Iconic silver (or so I’ve been told) Paint code JS

Appreciate your response. Talking to my dealers body and paint guy (actually ran an independent shop for a few decades) other options in play are as attached. He gave me some ux from a can, so I'll paint a small piece of plastic and post up the results. Otherwise I'll give a try with the js. It's a shame that it's so whack a mole with Ford trim pieces. And as far as the Ford ranger raptor bumper, forget about it. It's a matte finish, so really not possible to make a blemish recoated without painting the whole thing, and then using a matte or satin clear coat. He quickly solved the issue by just getting me a new front bumper under warranty, even at almost 36k. Love that guy.

I stand corrected sir, thanks for that info. I was told that info by a parts counter guy at my local Ford dealer. Glad you found the right one.
Similarly, no one appears to know the true paint code on the dark gray trim color on the 24-26 sport models. I’ve been told 3 different names. Boulder gray, magnetic, and carbonized. I know it’s not the latter 2, it seems to be darker than both. I Saw a 25 carbonized gray sport on the lot and the dark gray trim was darker than the body. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Personally, I would prefer it a darker color, I think matt black would look better. I HATE the silver color. To me it just does not go with the truck, there is no sliver anywhere else on the entire truck. Just the bumper and skid.

But I do get the "why". Since the skid is sliver, if you scratch it up, it's less noticeable since it's close to the color of bare steel. That's probably why the went silver, then matched the lip to the skid. I'd still rather have black though as I like the darker more brooding tone on the front end.

I’ve found this to be a nearly PERFECT match to the dark gray RR bumper & trim. Went from that horrible silver to color matched gray. Yes the can says black, but it has something to do with the way it lays with the textured variety. And by textured it isn’t very much. You don’t really see the texture, but you can feel it. I scuffed it with scotch brite, degreased, 2 coats adhesion promoter, and 2 coats Krylon. Been on there for 6 months. Still looks great!
