1995 Ford Touch Up Paint (124 OEM Colors)

The 1995 Ford Vibe

Welcome to 1995, the year Ford decided every driveway in America needed a teal or metallic green beast parked in it. Whether you were hauling the family in a Windstar, getting muddy in a Bronco, or putting in hours with a Heavy Duty Truck, you were living in the golden age of the "High-Solids" transition. We've got 16 survivors in our database from this era-a spread that covers everything from the workhorse Oxford White to the absolute 90s-fever dream of Tangerine Pearl and Cayman Green Metallic. It was a time of bold choices and even bolder metallics, before every car on the road turned into a different shade of "iPad Grey."

Paint Health Check

If you're looking at a 1995 Ford today, you're likely staring at the poster child for "The Peeling Era." By the mid-90s, the industry had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system, but the chemistry hadn't quite perfected the bond between the two. This is the era of delamination. If your Explorer or F150 spent its life under the sun, you've probably seen the clear coat starting to flake off the hood or roof like a bad case of sunburn. Once that UV protection in the clear fails, the base color underneath-especially those deep Dark Berry and Royal Blue metallics-will turn chalky and start to lift in sheets.

Restoration Tip

When you're dealing with a '95, you have to be a surgeon with your touch-up. Because these clear coats are prone to "zippering" (where a tiny chip turns into a massive peel), you need to seal every stone chip immediately. Don't wait for the weekend. If you see a nick in that Silver Frost or Seafoam Green, get some paint on it to lock the edges of the clear coat down to the primer. This stops moisture from getting under the clear and freezing or bubbling, which is what usually starts the dreaded delamination process. A little preventative dabbing today saves you a full-body respray tomorrow.
