I just discovered this thread. I have had my Magnetic Ranger for over a month now. To be honest, at first I liked the Magnetic color, but it was one of three colors we gave our dealer to match up with the package and options we wanted.

Now that we have it, I totally love it and I am so happy that it was the one of the three that fate brought.

It is such an interesting color, and can look so different in different light. It can look so rich at times. I love it!

Has anyone figured out how to do the touch up paint for our magnetic paint well. I was hoping the factory paint applied would look better than this.

I would bet it stands out and is very noticeable to you because you applied it and know it's there. I'm the same way about my vehicles and most people never notice the small things I nitpick over.

Trust me it doesn't look good or like it should. The metallic paint is a bitch to match. If someone has figured a better way please let me know!!!! This soft paint needs bandaids at times. Cheers!

I had some good luck with what I had to patch up with Ford magnetic gray touch-up paint. When installing the snorkel on my truck, I was riveting a bracket onto the passenger a-pillar when the rivet tool bounced off the a-pillar and left a pretty good scratch. I was amazed with how well the touch up paint matched. And I was happy the touched up area was under the snorkel!

One thing that may help blend the touch up paint into the area is to wet sand the paint to get it level with the paint around it. It may not appear to match well because usually it applies with a little of a domed shape to it. This will cause it to reflect light differently than the surrounding paint. Or course, wet sanding to level it will take special care and effort lest you damage the paint around it.

Hey, I did all the wet sanding and leveling just couldn’t get the paint to blend well. Factory paint is too light it seemed even with putting some clear coat on at the end. The color just doesn’t match just right.
