Lund Platinum (Catalyzed Spray ONLY) (910948) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Back in 2006 and 2007, this was the backbone of the fleet. Whether you are patching up a Pro-V or a Tyee, this silver metallic is a master of disguise. It hides the chalky residue of dried salt and those inevitable water spots better than almost any other finish in the catalog. While it might look like a simple grey from a distance, up close it has a crisp, professional sparkle that defines the era when your boat was the king of the lake.

Technical Details

Because this is a metallic finish, the way you apply it matters more than the color itself. Metallic flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and create dark, blotchy patches. This is called mottling, and it makes your repair look like a bruise on the hull. You want the flakes to lay flat and even so they catch the sun at the same angle as the original factory finish.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lund Platinum (Catalyzed Spray ONLY) (check for code 910948), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on the silver plate near the transom or inside the glove box. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic density is right. When applying, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid build-up. Work in the shade to ensure the drying time stays consistent, and never try to cover a scratch in one heavy layer. Two or three thin passes will give you the professional depth you need.
