Paint code M6980D — Chestnut
M6980D is the factory code for Chestnut, offered on Ford / Lincoln vehicles from 2005 to 2011. It appears under more than one name over the years — the table has each year's exact listing. Give a paint supplier the code, not the colour name.
Check it's really your code: on a Ford it's on the driver's door jamb sticker, in the box marked EXT PNT — a two-character code.
Ford codes are two characters (like UA for Ebony) and often appear alongside a longer refinish number.
