Looking for Indiana Sheriff Metallic Brown Paint Code

[HoughMade]

My son and I are buying a Crown Vic Police Intercepter. It is painted in Indiana Sheriff metallic brown. It is not the original color because it started as a two-tone, but was repainted as below. We would like to do touch up. Any ideas?

Somewhere to start.

I was always told it was “Arizona Beige”

The Indiana Sheriff's Association will have the answer you seek.

You might also check with your county's preferred body shop. I called ours, but HCSO never did the metallic.

find a store that sells automotive paints and have them do a color match scan on it. they are usually right on

That's a pretty nice Vicki! Good find!

Earl Scheib will touch up the whole car for $29.95…

I say this as a collision repair shop owner. Just like boogieman said, go to a finish master, automotive color and supply, or someplace like that. They will most likely have a camera that they can measure your color with, and mix some paint for it. If they do not, most collision repair shops probably have that piece of equipment.

This is certainly the best way to go, but it will depend upon how we want to tackle the minimal repairs we want to make.

The wheel well lips need a little work, but there there's way to handle it that will require paint matching and blending and a way that just requires rust removal and treatment and no paint matching necessary.

Fender trim covers a multitude of sins. I have a 2007 Silverado with no VISIBLE rust above the rear wheels, so I know...

Poke at it with an art brush so it doesn't leave brush strokes. Unnoticed if the paint matches. And paint fades.
You can add a little white in your cup if needed.

I was always told it was “Arizona Beige”

My 02 F150 was “Arizona Beige Clear coat” and it was a good bit lighter than the pictured Crown Vic.

I know it is called Arizona Beige and I can probably get the code tonight or early tomorrow.

:dunno;

Hahaha, like I said, that’s what I was told, and I even had a 2008 CVPI in that color when I had a marked car!

They can keep their AI- I'll crowdsource my questions at INGO.

Picked up the car yesterday....turns out it came with the original window sticker which I had not seen before. It lists the color as "AQ Arizona Beige Metallic"....

OK. I have to ask...

Why?

For....fun?

The longer answer is that it's the car that he wants and it checks out mechanically. I paid for bachelor degrees for the older 2 kids, am paying for another now, and my youngest son will be going to trade school which greatly reduces my outlay. I didn't owe any of them a post-secondary education, but I did it anyway. I'm helping out the youngest by making sure he can get to school.

....and it will fun to wrench on this together as needed. Mechanically, it's close to perfect, but I will be doing a little body work....and I'm sure he'll have some goofy mods to do and a "system".

Fair enough.

Just for the record, boost+extra pedal=more funs...

This is what Dads do! It’s our job to do the best we can for our kids. Too bad certain ethnic groups seem to have forgotten this reality check.
