Authentic Ford RR Ruby Red Metallic Urethane Basecoat Paint – Bold, Vibrant, Classic Red!

Bring Back Factory-Fresh Ruby Red Metallic (OEM Paint Code RR by Ford)

Restore or refresh that striking, fiery Ruby Red Metallic look (RR by Ford) – the iconic, high-gloss metallic red with rich, deep color and excellent pop found on countless Ford models including the Mustang, F-150, Super Duty, Explorer, Edge, Escape, Bronco, and more from various model years. This premium urethane basecoat delivers exceptional depth, brilliant coverage with a smooth, even finish, and strong UV resistance for a durable, showroom-quality finish that lasts.

Key Features & Technical Data

  • Exact OEM color match to factory RR by Ford (Ruby Red Metallic)
  • Premium automotive urethane basecoat – sprays evenly with outstanding coverage (typically 2–3 medium coats for full hide)
  • High-quality formulation creates a bold, vibrant red with metallic sparkle – pure, aggressive, and eye-catchingunder all lighting
  • Important: This is a standard Basecoat / Clearcoat system – NOT a Tri-Stage paint. It is a metallic red basecoat that requires a separate 2K clearcoat (not included unless a kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can is selected). No mid-coat, pearl, or tri-stage components are involved – straightforward, classic application just like many factory metallic reds.
  • Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can is selected) for maximum gloss, durability, and UV protection
  • Backed by precise color-matching data for superior accuracy
  • Mix Ratio (Unreduced): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume) – use medium/fast reducer depending on temperature/humidity
  • Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13–15 seconds in a #4 Zahn cup
  • Coverage: Approximately 250–300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4–0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding
  • Flash Times: 5–10 minutes between coats; 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (at 70°F – adjust for conditions)
  • Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2–4 hours
  • Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 0.4–0.8 mil per coat (total basecoat 1–2 mil)

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

  • Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-thinned in the can – simply shake/stir and spray. Ideal for fast, small jobs (sprayable volume = purchased amount).
  • Unreduced: Concentrated basecoat – mix yourself (usually 1:1 with reducer). Higher paint solids per container = better yield and maximum control over thinning.

Concise Application Instructions

  1. Prep – Clean, sand (400–600 grit), prime if needed; use pre-paint cleaner
  2. Mix (Unreduced only) – 1:1 basecoat to reducer; stir thoroughly
  3. Spray – Apply 2–3 medium wet coats with 50% overlap; flash 5–10 min between coats (70°F)
    • HVLP gun recommended: 30–50 PSI (gravity feed) or 10–15 PSI cap pressure
  4. Final Flash – 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (max 24 hrs without scuffing)
  5. Clearcoat – Apply 2–3 coats of 2K clear (or use Gloss Touch Spray Can for small areas)
  6. Safety – Wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, suit); ensure excellent ventilation; test-spray first

Important Application Notes

  • Basecoat only (unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can selected) – must be topped with quality 2K clear. This is a true basecoat/clearcoat system, not a tri-stage paint.
  • Always test-spray a small panel first – final appearance can vary slightly due to lighting, primer, application technique, or age
  • Professional-grade automotive refinishing product – not intended for household or non-auto use
  • Use proper PPE, ventilation, and equipment

This is the genuine Ford RR Ruby Red Metallic basecoat ! Perfect for bringing back that sharp, factory-fresh bold red look on your Mustang, F-150, Super Duty, or any other RR by Ford-equipped vehicle.
