Where to look on your Lincoln
- Door jamb. Open the driver's door and check the B-pillar, the upright between the front and rear doors, for a label or plate. If it's not there, try the passenger side.
What the code looks like
On US-built models the door label shows EXT PNT followed by a two-character code, such as YZ (Oxford White) or UM (Agate Black).

Can't find the door jamb label?
- Lincoln isn't sold new in the UK, so there's usually no local dealer to ask. If the car was imported, the importer may have its build records. Otherwise, bring a part into a branch and we'll match it.
- Search by colour. If you know the colour name or roughly what colour it is, filter our Lincoln colour codes by colour and year to narrow it down.
Still stuck, or not sure the code matches a resprayed panel? Bring the fuel flap or a small part into a branch and we'll match it on the counter.
What you’ll need
Once you have the code, the finish tells you what to order. Lincoln colours fall into these groups:
Single-stage
Solid colours
One paint. It dries to a gloss finish, so no lacquer is needed.
122 Lincoln colours
Two-stage
Metallic, pearl and most modern colours
Basecoat, then clear lacquer over the top. Matt colours need a matt lacquer instead.
585 Lincoln colours
Three-stage
Pearl tri-coat colours
Basecoat, a pearl mid-coat, then clear lacquer. Order both paints together so they match.
22 Lincoln colours
