I couldn't find a recent thread about bumper paint codes. One 2017-era thread suggested a Foundry Black Metallic color (@joeyrotorhead), and @lottp replied by saying the bumpers are Metallic J7 with a flattener applied to the clear coat. My 2018 needs some minor touch up and the Ford dealer near me says "there isn't a secondary color listed for my VIN" (Leadfoot) and he suggested I go to a paint shop and have them scan the color. Has anyone definitively solved the bumper paint code mystery? Man, it shouldn't be this hard to define.

The conventional wisdom says to leave the scratches on your skid plate as evidence you take it off-road. ;)
I plan on gluing a layer of red velvet to the skid plate to hide the scratches. Maybe match it with some wheel well lights of the same color and an illuminated Lucite trailer hitch ball. Imagine pulling up to a traffic light...babe pulls up next to you...your wheel well lights and illuminated trailer hitch ball synch with the musical beat coming from her car. Boom.
