The short make/year code for this paint on a 124427 in 1996, is FZ. The code FZ 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: "FZ 1996 Lincoln". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M6756 or M6756A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
