Default Satin White Paint Code

Anyone know what the paint code is for the Satin White colour that the Focus came out in?

The paint code is the second set from the bottom on the B-Pillar sticker.

Checked with 2 Ford dealerships and they both said the paint code is SW but this code does not appear on the build sticker i posted above.

Weird but 2 dealerships can't be wrong i guess.

Been speaking to a panel beater and he checked the paint code with DuPont. Satin White is a Volvo 239 paint code.

Just to bring some closure to my own thread the paint code for a Satin White Focus is definitely Volvo 239. Just had some mobile panel work done on the Focus yesterday by Auto Paint Fix and the paint matches up perfectly.

Hey, I'm in the same boat. The mother in-law needs a new front left guard replaced in which I got today. It needs to be painted white also but by look at the B pillar sticker it tells you sweet bugger all.

From looking at yours and the mother in-laws car I would say the paint code would be PA3.

Right or wrong?

Definitely recommend Auto Paint Fix if you're in Melbourne. Just to give you an idea on price they charged me $275 to come out and tap out the dent, fill it in, prep it, paint it, clear coat it and polish it. If i had made a claim through the insurance company it would have cost $550.

Paint formula for Frostvit (Volvo 239) in the attachment below. As usual this is per litre.
