Edsel All Models Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Edsel didn't just arrive; it made an entrance with 18 distinct shades that proved the designers really went for it. Whether your ride is wearing the sophisticated Durez Gold Poly, the deep Royal Blue Poly, or the undeniably bold Chalk Pink, these cars were built to be the main character of the neighborhood. With names like Sunset Coral and Jonquil Yellow, the palette feels less like a car catalog and more like a high-end 1950s candy shop.

What to Watch For

To find your specific color code, head to the driver's side. You're looking for the data plate, which is typically riveted to the front door pillar (A-pillar) or the rear edge of the door itself. Since these cars were born in an era of single-stage paint, the most common hurdle is "chalking"-where the paint surface turns dull and powdery. Keep a close eye on the "horse-collar" grille and the edges of that massive hood; these are prime real estate for small chips that can turn into rust spots if left to the elements. If your Ember Red looks a little lighter than the bottle, it just means the sun has been enjoying your car as much as you have.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're ready to use your touch-up brush, remember that these classic colors require patience to get the depth right. Before you start, give that little bottle a serious workout-shake it for at least two full minutes to make sure those heavy 1950s pigments are fully awake. Instead of trying to "paint" a stroke over a chip, try the "Gravity Fill" technique: place a small drop of paint right in the center of the chip and let it naturally spread to the edges. If you're working with one of the "Poly" (metallic) colors, less is more; thin layers will help those tiny sparkles sit flat and catch the light just like the day it rolled off the assembly line.
