Lund Green (DCC4215) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Lund has likely seen its fair share of docks and rocky shorelines since 1989, you know this color is more than just a coat of paint. It is a heritage shade that defined the look of the most reliable aluminum fishing boats on the water for nearly twenty years. This deep, forest-inspired tone was the standard for everything from the Pro-V to the Tyee, making it the quintessential choice for anyone who spent their weekends chasing walleye or bass. Because your boat has been exposed to sun and spray for a while, the original finish has likely developed a unique character that demands a careful touch to restore.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Lund Green (check for code DCC4215), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This finish contains metallic particles that provide that classic shimmer, but those flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you skip the shaking, the color will look dull or mismatched. Metallic finishes are prone to mottling, which creates dark streaks or spots if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. You want the flakes to lay down evenly so they catch the light the same way the rest of the hull does.

Best Practices

You will typically find your identification information on the capacity plate near the console or stamped into the transom plate at the back of the boat. When you start your repair in a garage or under the shade, the most important thing is to keep the container moving. Avoid the temptation to fill a deep scratch in one go; instead, apply several thin layers. This prevents the paint from sagging and allows the metallic flakes to orient themselves correctly. Give the area plenty of drying time between applications to ensure the finish hardens properly. Always test the color on the included card to get a feel for the flow and to verify the match before you apply it to your boat.
