If this is in the wrong section, apologies.........

Was looking for touch up paint, Couple of tiny rock chips on front end I'd like to touch up prior to PPF installation. I can live with them even without the touch up but figured I'd try anyway

Door code says A3 (space white), when I google it I come up with Beige Pearl and it doesn't look even close to the Space White even tho it says 2021 mach E match

Any input?

Check with the parts department at a Ford dealer. I was able to get Star White, that matches perfectly.

When I buy a new vehicle, the factory touch-up paint is part of the deal, i.e. I make them throw it in.

I will. I live pretty remotely and try to do as much on line as I can. Trip to the dealer is 120miles round trip

Few threads already on this but touch up direct and scratches happen offer it and it matches very well depending on technique applied.

No need to order from them. Just confirm the part number with them. Then you can either use the part number to order from Ford parts online or get a 3rd parry pain with the correct paint code.

Also, it’s worth noting that Mach-E Rapid Red is the same paint code as F-150 Lucent Red. So I’m not surprised if your color comes with a different name as well.

You can connect with any Ford dealership parts department online and have it shipped to you. No need to go in.

Heh, I couldn’t even get a bottle of touch-up paint for my Oxford White Fusion Energi from the dealer at which I bought the car. I had to buy one aftermarket.

Different dealer for my MME. I’ll have to query them closer to my delivery date to make sure they get a bottle of Grabber Blue for me and have it ready when I get the car.

I noticed some rapid red touch-up paint that was 2 bottles, the red and the clear coat. I had not seen that before, I'm wondering how well that would work in practice. I've got a small rock chip already on the grill area, but the PPF wrap there took the hit, no paint damage.
