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

Is ZU4A the same as M4238J?

  • Manufacturer codeZU4AUsually the one on your car’s label
  • Standard numberM4238J
  • Supplier codeZU4AXXJ

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.

Will ZU4A match my Ford if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the ZU4A 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.
