1967 Ford Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 1967 Ford Vibe

In 1967, Ford wasn't just building cars; they were painting the soundtrack of the Summer of Love. The Mustang was getting wider to fit those big-block V8s, the Thunderbird was leaning into its "Land Yacht" luxury phase, and Ford's color palette was exploding. We're talking about a lineup of 23 distinct colors-a time when you could actually tell a car's personality from a block away. From the legendary Wimbledon White to the flashy Candy Apple Red and the era-defining Lime Gold, Ford gave buyers enough options to ensure no two driveways looked the same.

Paint Health Check

If you're staring at an original 1967 survivor, you're looking at the Single Stage Era. Back then, we didn't have the luxury of a clear coat to act as a sacrificial shield. The pigment and the binder are one and the same. The "Legend" says this paint is bulletproof because it's thick, but the reality is more brutal: Oxidation. Without a clear layer, the sun cooks the oils right out of the finish, leaving behind a chalky, dull haze. If your Nightmist Poly looks more like a dusty blackboard than a metallic dream, it's because the paint is literally "chalking" away.

Restoration Tip

When working with these 1960s finishes, remember the golden rule: It needs wax or it dies. Because there's no clear coat to protect it, the environment is constantly trying to turn your paint back into dust. Before you touch up a chip, you have to cut through that oxidation with a fine polishing compound to find the true color hidden underneath. Once you've applied your touch-up, seal the entire panel with a high-quality wax. That seal is the only thing preventing the atmosphere from eating your hard work. Don't let it go thirsty-keep it waxed, or watch it fade.
