On-screen color is representative. Your exact match comes from the paint code.

Is 18A the same as 52LM51?

  • Manufacturer code18AUsually the one on your car’s label
  • Supplier code52LM51

A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.

Which Ford models came in Cinabar Red (18A)?

This colour is recorded at brand level — Ford did not tie it to specific models in our data. Match it by the paint code on your vehicle’s label.

Will 18A match my Ford if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the 18A formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.

Where it will not match

  • Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
  • A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
  • Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
  • Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

Perfect and beautiful paint.

I loved the kit and paint. How ever no brushes were included. That would make it perfect.

Spot on!

Color matched exactly and has been on all summer, in the sun, car washes, and doesn't look any different from the rest of the car.

How it works

Three steps.
Zero blobs.

01

Clean

Wipe the chip, degrease the panel. Thirty seconds of prep is all it takes.

02

Apply

The precision tip fills the chip exactly — no drips, no brush marks, no blobs.

03

Ready

Seal and polish. The repair disappears into the factory finish.
