1995 Fountain Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1995 Fountain Vibe

Picture it: It's 1995, and you're tearing across the glass on a Fountain Fever or a Lightning, fueled by high-octane ego and a cassette deck blasting Eurodance. This was the peak of the "Radical 90s" aesthetic. While the rest of the world was transitioning to boring beige, Fountain was leaning into the survivors of the era-the colors that actually mattered. We're talking about that deep, moody Grape (the kind of dark purple that looks black until the sun hits it), the high-speed Silver Metallic, and the quintessential Teal that defined the decade. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that you were moving too fast for anyone to catch your hull ID.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Peeling Era. By 1995, the industry had mastered the look of high-gloss depth, but the chemistry was still catching up to the sun's brutality. On these Fountains, you're likely dealing with high-performance polyurethane or clear-coated gelcoat. The legend of this paint is that it's bulletproof, BUT after thirty years of UV rays and salt spray, we're seeing "Delamination." This is where the clear coat decides it's had enough and starts lifting off in sheets like a bad sunburn. If your Silver Metallic starts looking like it has flaky skin, that's the clear coat giving up the ghost.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your worst enemy is a tiny chip. Once the seal is broken, wind and water pressure at 70 MPH act like a spatula, getting under the clear coat and prying it away from the base. To save your finish, you need to seal chips immediately. Don't wait for a full weekend project. Use a precision touch-up to cap the edges of any nick. By sealing the perimeter of the damage, you stop the delamination before the clear lifts and turns your "Grape" masterpiece into a "Peeling" mess.
