Where to find Lund color code

How to Find Your Lund's Color Code

The Lund paint color code is obtained from Lund; they can determine the color code. For identification, the primary source is the color code provided by Lund. If there is no color code, the reference becomes the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. In short, Lund supplies the code, or, when none exists, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number is the alternative.

Your Paint Color Profile

Wildfire Red

The Look

This is the definitive red for the modern Lund era. Between 2005 and 2019, this color defined the look of aluminum fishing boats across every lake in North America. It is a bold, high-energy shade that was designed to stay visible against dark water and bright skies. Because your boat has likely spent years under direct sun, you should keep in mind that the original finish may have shifted slightly from its factory brightness. This red is punchy and deep, giving your hull that classic professional angler appearance that people recognize from a mile away.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create depth and shimmer. Metallics are more demanding than solid colors because those flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container. If they are not suspended perfectly, the color will look flat or uneven. You also have to be careful about mottling, which is when the flakes cluster together and create dark splotches or stripes. This usually happens if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot or if you do not maintain a consistent hand speed while working.

Best Practices

Since boats do not have door jambs, you will not find a sticker with your color information. You can usually find the specifics in your original owner's manual or by providing your Hull Identification Number (HIN) from the transom to a local dealer. Before you spray or dab Lund Wildfire Red (check for code FDGH912856), you must shake the container for at least two minutes to ensure the metallic particles are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching your boat. When you start, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy build-up. Apply the paint in thin, light layers and respect the drying time between each pass to prevent the red pigment from running.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Lund Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Lund is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Lund color code 'FDGH912856' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
