Lincoln Light Tundra Effect (DV) Touch Up Paint

The Look

The 2007 model year was a specific era for American luxury, and this color was a quiet standout for the LS, Navigator, and Town Car. It occupies a sophisticated middle ground between a sage green and a liquid silver. It does not scream for attention, but it gives your Lincoln an earthy, substantial presence that modern flat grays cannot replicate. Since your vehicle has been on the road for nearly two decades, this color has likely held up well against dirt, though it requires a clean surface to truly show off its depth.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on thousands of tiny suspended flakes to catch the light. Metallics are notorious for a phenomenon called mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark, cloudy patches. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the finish will look uneven and dirty rather than crisp. The goal is to get those flakes to lay down flat and uniform so the light bounces off the surface at the same angle across the entire repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Light Tundra Effect (check for code DV), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your code on the manufacturing sticker located inside the driver's door jamb, usually listed under the heading EXT PNT. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the nozzle or brush flow. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving in steady passes to prevent the metallic flakes from pooling. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to ensure the drying time remains consistent and the finish stays smooth.
