Lincoln Manhattan Green (FU) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Lincoln created this shade specifically for the Navigator Black Label to complement the lush Central Park interior theme. It is a deep, forest-heavy green that often appears almost black until the sun hits the body lines. Because your Navigator has such expansive, flat panels, any tiny rock chip or scratch will catch the eye and break the visual flow of the vehicle. This color represents the top tier of the Lincoln lineup, so treating it like a standard utility paint will not do it justice.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic pearl finish that relies on suspended particles to create its signature depth. These flakes are the primary source of the color's personality, but they are also the biggest challenge during a repair. If you apply the paint too thick, the metallic bits will bunch together and make the touch-up look darker than the surrounding area. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Manhattan Green (check for code FU), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. This ensures those heavy flakes are distributed evenly so the shimmer remains consistent across the repair.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the sticker located inside the driver side door jamb, usually labeled next to "EXT PNT." For a professional result, work in your garage or a reliable patch of shade to keep the metal surface cool. Heat makes the paint dry too fast, which prevents the pearl flakes from settling correctly. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match and see how the flakes react to your technique. Whether you are using a pen or a nozzle, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent pooling. Use thin, patient layers and allow plenty of drying time between them to ensure the finish stays flat and level with the rest of the panel.
