Ford Eruption Green (FA) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a love letter to the 1970s. Inspired by the classic Mallard Green found on first-generation Broncos, it brings a rugged, evergreen soul to your modern Bronco, Maverick Pickup, or Mustang. It is deep and earthy when your car is in the shade, but the moment the sun hits it, the finish transforms into a bright, mossy glow. Because it was designed for off-road icons, it handles trail dust and road grime better than most dark shades, making it a favorite for owners who actually use their trucks as intended.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a complex metallic finish that relies on a specific load of yellow and gold flakes to create its signature depth. Since it is a metallic, the way the flakes lay down determines the final shade. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the paint can look darker or patchy. This is why you must avoid heavy, wet coats that might lead to mottling. The goal is a consistent, even distribution so those yellow highlights can catch the light properly across the surface of your repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ford Eruption Green (check for code FA on your driver's side door jamb label), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. This ensures those heavy metallic flakes are fully suspended and not sitting at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card to verify the shade before touching the car. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes land evenly. Work in a cool garage rather than direct sunlight, and allow plenty of drying time between light layers to build the color safely. High-quality clearcoat is required afterward to lock in the shine and protect that vintage-inspired green from the elements.
