Id check out the parts stores first. Sometimes they have a match. Dont go to the desk, head straight to the aisle with paints and primers. If youre lucky theres a book hanging with them thatll cross reference to the paint youre looking for.

Any auto body paint supply shop will be able to mix up your exact color with the info from the data sticker on the door jam. It will also be cheaper than getting the paint from the dealer since these are the places where they also get their paint.

You might find that this paint is a two or three
stage paint which means base coat, top coat, and clear.
Paint stores may have a mix to make it an
equavallent one
stage paint.
cost 30$ pint
$50 quart
need thinner.
If you are talking small chips to fix
the nail polish paqint at the dealer
can fix.
larger areas require mixed paint, possibly
masking larger areas.
$11.88 at edmwi.com
tell them debalko sent you

Ford parts dept. do not buy from a paint supply store. Ford offers touch up in a bottle with a brush. As stated before it runs 10-12 dollars. But it is only meant for stone chips and the like.
Now our body shop does buy from the paint supply store.
