My '99 F-150 has an interior code of X (Med Prarie Tan), which is the light color in the interior. Does anyone know what paint will be a good match for the darker brown color on the dash?

 

i have the same colors and the same problem. I find the lighter color no problem the darker i have no clue, so this post will help out 2 fellow f150 guy if it gets answered!

 

iirc i think its medium parchment

 

i have this problem to with my expy console and lower dash peice w pocket i picked up. i have the dark and they are the light.

 

I got nothing for the darker color. Just paint the darker color black and leave the lighter one.

 

Yeah thats what I did...I don't think med parchment was used het in '99. It looks darker...

 

Its gotta be medium parchment...

 

I think so too

 

Thanks for the replys ... I'm trying to avoid buying a whole bunch of expensive spray cans in an attempt to get the right color.

I bought a can of Colorbond #115 (Med Prairie Tan), and it matches the light color pretty good. When I look at Colorbond's color chart (here), the Med Parchment looks lighter than the Med Prairie Tan. I'm thinking possibly the Med Dark Parchment ...

Test card of Colorbond #115 Med Prairie Tan ...

 

looks good, thats a pretty close match.

 

I know this thread is old but someone will ask again I'm sure.
I went through this awhile ago and found perfect matches for color code H with 2 tone interior. They blend really well and have been durable. Make sure you clean area very good.
For the lighter color: SEM Med. Parchment P/N: 17053 FMC BJCA.
For the darker color: Colorbond Dark Med. Parchment P/N: 120 Ford
Had to order the Colorbond from Summit because Colorbond has a minimim order.
The SEM I picked up at auto paint store.

 

Thanks for the input ... I still haven't got an answer for the dark color on an X code '99. I wonder how similiar the '99 X and '03 H code colors are?

I want to put some dark color on my door panels. Since the door panel color won't be directly next to the dark color on the dash, if they aren't an exact match, it might not be too noticeable.

 

Bump!

I have the same problem:

Mine is the other way around... I need to find the dark to return to stock now!







Check this site out... I think it must be the Expresso???

Thanks for the link ...

I noticed that 3 brown hues are listed for your '03, but only 1 brown hue for my '99 (Med Prairie Tan, the light color).

 

same prob on the 1997 that i have. its irritating looking at a giant black part on the dash where the previous owner had something taped to the darker brown part and took a 1.5 in, by 1.5 in piece of the darker brown off...
