What color?

Popeye1959 · 06-04-2012, 07:29 PM

I know the color code for my 2003 Explorer Sport XLT is G2 which is a dark red looking color. My question is what is the color code for the secondary gray color used on the bumpers and running boards? Does it differ from truck to truck based on the main color or are they all the same? Can’t believe how chintzy those running boards and bumpers are.

that will tell you the colors code and what its name is

in this photo you can see the EXT PNT: G2 AQ
if you truck looks like mine

then G2 is Redfire and AQ is Arizona Beige

Hope that helped!

Nope, my truck isn’t painted on the wheel arches like the one in the photo. My door sticker only says G2 as shown here.

However, the color of the trim shown does look similar to the color of mine and is a good starting point.
