1992 Fountain Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1992 Fountain Vibe

Welcome to 1992, the year where if it wasn't neon or metallic, it didn't exist. At Fountain, we weren't just building boats; we were building status symbols that looked like they were moving at 80 knots while sitting at the dock. Whether you were rocking a Fever or a Lightning, the color palette was pure "Rad Era" energy. We've focused our database on the survivors-the heavy hitters that defined the marina: Grape (that deep, "is it black or is it purple?" mystery), Silver Metallic, and of course, the undisputed king of the nineties, Teal. If you weren't spraying Teal in '92, were you even painting?

Paint Health Check

We're firmly in the "Peeling Era" now, folks. By 1992, the industry had gone all-in on the Basecoat/Clearcoat system. It looked deep and glassy on the showroom floor, but the chemistry of the early nineties had a nasty habit of "delamination." You've seen it-that ugly white crust where the clear coat starts lifting off the color like a bad sunburn. UV rays are the enemy here. If your Silver Metallic looks a little "flaky" or your Grape is starting to go cloudy, that's the clear coat losing its grip on the pigment underneath. Once the clear lifts, the color underneath is defenseless.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a '92 finish alive is aggressive chip management. Because this era is prone to delamination, a tiny rock chip or dock scrape isn't just a cosmetic flaw-it's an entry point for moisture and air to get under the clear coat and start the peeling process. Seal your chips immediately. Don't let the "edge" of the clear coat sit exposed to the wind or water pressure, or you'll watch a dime-sized repair turn into a dollar-sized disaster by next weekend. Clean the area, dab the color, and make sure you've got a solid seal to keep that 1992 Teal looking factory-fresh.
