Paint code PQ · solid paint
Race Red
Race Red carries Ford factory paint code PQ as a solid paint finish. On a Ford, you'll find the code printed on the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the driver's door jamb — the two-character code in the "EXT PNT" box (Ford reuses two-letter codes across eras, so the code plus the model year together identify the color). The swatch shown is representative — lighting and screens shift color, and a respray won't change the code the car was born with.
