I have the 21" black wheels. The front passenger side wheel got scratched in the car wash. I have found several black wheel paint codes for fords. Anyone have any idea which one?

Did you buy a tire/wheel package when you bought your ST? If so, no problem curb rash is covered.
If not, check with your dealer, they usually have a "Wheel Guy" that comes in and fixes this sort of thing. Generally it cost $50 to $200 per wheel depending on how bad it is.
I don't have a Tire/Wheel package on my Mustang and had one badly scuffed and 2 slightly scuffed and I paid $200 for all 3 wheels repaired at the dealer.
I made sure I had the package on the Explorer...

Checked with my dealer, because of Covid the wheel guy is no longer visiting the dealers. He’d to drive to him 90 miles away, nut did a great job.

A lot of dealerships have a mobile wheel service they use, maybe check with them.

I bought this package but haven't used it yet. you just do it through service? They're supposed to cover paint issues too but when I showed them some stone chips they said it wasn't covered, only things like doors in parking lots and stuff. [grrr]. Thanks in advance for more no your experience here!

Depending on your location… State, City…. Look up a company called Onsiterecon… I am located in Tidewater VA area and have used them for wheel damage like stone chips and curb rash, also for scratched paint on the rear bumper. Really easy to get a quote, email a couple pics of the issue and within a day they send you a quote. Hope this helps.

These wheals look great but very easily scratch at the car wash or the slightest impact!

Got a estimate for a nasty curb rash on my front wheel. $250. Sound about right+
