Lincoln Blue Diamond Metallic (FT/M7411) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Blue Diamond Metallic is a cornerstone of Lincoln's "Quiet Luxury" era. It gave the Continental a stately presence and helped the MKX, MKC, and MKT stand out without screaming for attention. This is a deep, professional blue that shifts character depending on the overhead light. Since your car has been on the road for several years, you might notice that while this color hides road film well, it can lose its depth as the factory clear coat ages. Restoring that crisp, oceanic blue requires a focus on the metallic sparkle rather than just the pigment.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with tiny aluminum flakes that provide that signature shimmer. Metallics are more complex to repair than solid colors because those flakes need to sit evenly in the paint film. If you apply the paint too heavily, the flakes will sink and mottle, creating dark, blotchy areas that look like bruises on the finish. A steady hand and a light touch are the only ways to make sure the repair disappears into the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Blue Diamond Metallic (check for code FT/M7411), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your specific code on the manufacturer's sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, usually listed next to the EXT PNT heading. Test the color on the included card to check that the metallic density matches your vehicle before you start. Keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or clumping. Work in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the drying time remains predictable, and apply multiple thin layers to keep the metallic look consistent.
