The code 2E is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "2E 1984 Mercury". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M5944 or M5944A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint.
