Eagle Brite Platinum Metallic (S4/MS4) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the peak of the mid-90s "cab-forward" design era. It gave the Vision a high-tech, aerodynamic look that remains a classic of that decade. Since your Eagle has been navigating the world for nearly thirty years, the original finish has likely weathered a fair amount of sun and road debris. This bright silver is excellent for its ability to hide thin layers of dust and light grime, making it a very practical choice for a car that still sees regular use.

Technical Details

This is a true Metallic finish. Silver paints like this are finicky because the tiny aluminum flakes must settle evenly to reflect light. If the flakes clump or dry at uneven rates, the finish will look blotchy or develop dark streaks. This effect happens when the paint stays wet for too long in one spot or the layers are too heavy. It is a rewarding color to apply because the metallic sparkle highlights the sharp body lines of your car when it catches the light in your driveway, but it requires a steady hand.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the metal plate attached to the radiator support under the hood or on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Eagle Brite Platinum Metallic (check for code S4/MS4), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This movement is the only way to get the heavy metallic particles off the bottom of the container and into the liquid. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your car's current level of fade. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to avoid direct sunlight. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure the flakes spread out rather than pooling. Allow enough drying time between thin layers to build up the color without causing the silver to shift or sag.
