Ford Festiva Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford really went for it with the Festiva, offering a total of 17 colors that proved big style can come in small packages. From the vibrant Pop Yellow and the quintessentially 90s Aqua to the punchy Hot Red, these cars were never meant to blend into the background. Whether you're rocking a classic Oxford White or one of the snazzy metallics like Bright Regatta Blue, your Festiva has more personality in its gas cap than most modern SUVs have in their entire chassis.

What to Watch For

After a few decades of service, the paint on these little legends can get a bit "sun-tired." You'll often find the clear coat starting to flake away on the flat surfaces-think the roof and the hood-where the sun has been most aggressive. Red shades, in particular, tend to get a little thirsty and can lose their shine over time. Before you start, open the driver's door and look at the jamb just below the latch; you'll find a sticker with a code next to "EXT PNT." That's your golden ticket to the right match.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up brush, remember that the Festiva's metal is thin and the original paint wasn't applied with a shovel. If you're working with one of the many metallic options like Silver Metallic or Cayman Green, shake that bottle for at least two full minutes-it takes a while to wake up those tiny metallic flakes so they don't all clump at the bottom. Apply the paint in thin, dainty layers. If you try to fill a chip with one big "glob," it'll look like a zit on your car's nose. Two thin coats will lay flatter and require much less patience in the long run.
