Lincoln Black Ebony (UA) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the automotive equivalent of a black-tie tuxedo. Whether it is draped over the broad shoulders of a Navigator or the sharp lines of a Lincoln LS, this shade represents the executive peak of the late 2000s. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over a decade, you have likely noticed that this finish provides a deep, ink-like depth that newer metallic paints often lack. It gives the Mark LT and Aviator a heavy, substantial presence that feels grounded and authoritative.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. Unlike many modern luxury paints, there is no metallic flake or pearl hidden in the mix to distract the eye. This is a pure, pigment-heavy black. The benefit is a mirror-like reflection that looks a mile deep when clean. The risk, however, is that solid blacks are incredibly honest. They do not hide scratches, swirl marks, or dust. Because there is no sparkle to camouflage your work, focus on getting your coverage even and smooth to avoid a patchy appearance.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Black Ebony (check for code UA), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your match by looking at the safety sticker on the driver's side door jamb; look for the letters next to the "EXT PNT" label. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered factory paint. When you begin, work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the surface from getting too hot. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Build the color in thin layers, allowing for plenty of drying time between each pass. This patience ensures the new paint sits flat and matches the level of the surrounding finish.
