Ford paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and the longer 4 digit code which starts with the letters "M", "WT", or "MX". M are production paints, WT and MX are commercial or special order. These longer codes don't change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Ford paint.

The Ford special paint code WT5085 indicates that the color shade is in the Orange category because it is in the WT5000 to WT5999 range. Also the finish is non-metallic since the code is less than WT5800.
