1967 AMC Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 1967 AMC Vibe

1967 was a year of transition in Kenosha. AMC was trying to shake off the "Rambler" economy image, rebranding the old Classic as the Rebel and letting the fastback Marlin swim in deeper waters. It was a time of "Polychromatic" finishes-what we'd just call metallics today-and bold, solid tones that looked like they were poured straight from a mid-century diner's soul. We've focused our database on the true survivors of this era, the colors that defined the AMC spirit: the radiant Amber Sungold Poly, the deep Barbados Blue Poly, and the quintessential Matador Red. These aren't just pigments; they're a time stamp of American independence.

Paint Health Check

Your '67 AMC was born in the Single Stage Era. Back then, we didn't hide the color under a plastic-looking clear coat; the pigment did all the heavy lifting. This means your paint is a living, breathing thing. But here's the reality: 1960s acrylic enamel is prone to "Oxidation." If that Med Aqua or Yuma Tan Metallic looks chalky, dull, or feels like you're rubbing a chalkboard, that's the paint literally dying on the vine. Without the protection of a modern clear, the sun and the rain are slowly turning your finish into dust. It won't peel off like a bad sunburn (the way 90s cars do), but it will fade into a ghost of its former self.

Restoration Tip

Because this is a single-stage finish, you can actually "bring it back" in a way you can't with modern cars-provided there's still enough film thickness left. If you're seeing that chalky haze, you need to carefully buff away the dead, oxidized layer to reveal the fresh pigment underneath. But remember the Salty Painter's rule for the 60s: It needs wax or it dies. Once you've polished that Barbados Blue back to a shine, you must seal it immediately. Without a high-quality wax or sealant, you're just exposing fresh "meat" to the elements, and it'll oxidize again before the next car show. Treat it like a cast-iron skillet-keep it seasoned, or watch it rust.
