Lincoln Medium Mocha Metallic (DC/M6450) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the peak of 1990s American luxury. Whether it is on a Town Car or a Continental, this shade captures a specific era where Lincoln moved away from the flat browns of the seventies into something far more sophisticated. It is a warm, earthy tone that carries enough gold and silver influence to glow under streetlights. Because your Lincoln has likely been on the road for thirty years, you will notice this color is a champion at hiding road grime and light dust, making it one of the most practical finishes ever put on a flagship sedan.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which presents a specific challenge for your repair. The tiny flakes inside the paint give it depth, but they are heavy. If you let the paint sit for even a minute, those flakes sink to the bottom. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallics will bunch together and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. To get the repair to look right, you need to ensure those flakes lay down flat and even across the surface so they catch the light the same way as the original factory finish.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code printed on the driver's side door jamb sticker, usually listed under the "EXT PNT" heading. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Medium Mocha Metallic (check for code DC/M6450), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic particles suspended. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle. When you move to the car, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. If you are working in your garage or the shade, make sure you allow enough drying time between light coats to prevent the metallic layers from sliding and ruining the texture.
