FordMedium Dark StoneTouch Up Paint — Paint Code 1T4A
Medium Dark Stone is Ford paint code 1T4A. Ford used 1T4A on the Explorer, Escape from 2006 to 2015. 1T4A is a solid, matte finish. Medium Dark Stone is sold as Medium Dark Stone Matte in other markets.
The kit is mixed to the 1T4A 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.
