To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1983 Ford Escort, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The color code can be located in the driver side door jamb. Click here for the Ford paint code location chart and paint code image example.

Your 1983 Ford Escort is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.
It worked like a charm. Looks great. I bought the wrong type of clearcoat [from another store] and had to redo it. My mistake. Once I corrected it the job was perfect.
The paint works great. You can hardly tell I touched it up. But don't make the same mistake as me. Look on the order screen for where to check for your exact color. It's usually by the drivers side door. I ordered white and that didn't look good. When I realized my mistake and ordered the correct color I was good to go.
