1999 Fountain Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Fountain Vibe

Welcome to the peak of the "Go-Fast" decade. In 1999, Fountain was the king of the water and the pavement, and if you weren't rocking a high-contrast palette, you weren't trying. While other brands were playing it safe with beige, we've focused on the survivors of the era-the colors that actually had some soul. We're talking about the deep, moody Grape, the quintessential Y2K Silver Metallic, and that Teal that defined every high-performance graphic from the docks to the drag strip. This was the year of "extreme" everything, and the paint jobs across all models were designed to look like they were moving at 80 mph even when they were sitting on the trailer.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the booth: your 1999 Fountain is living in The Peeling Era. By the late 90s, manufacturers had fully committed to the basecoat-clearcoat system, but the UV blockers back then weren't always up to the task of decades in the sun. If your Silver Metallic is looking a little cloudy or, worse, if the Grape is starting to flake off in translucent sheets like a bad sunburn, you're looking at classic delamination. The bond between that vibrant base color and the protective top layer is tired. Once the clear starts to lift, moisture gets underneath, and that's when the real "sheet-peeling" party starts.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 1999 paint is simple: Seal the chips immediately. In this era, a rock chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for air and water to start tunneling between your clear coat and the color. If you see a tiny crater in that Teal finish, don't wait for the edges to turn white. Dab a bit of touch-up paint in there to "lock down" the perimeter. This stops the delamination from spreading and keeps your factory clear coat attached to the boat-where it belongs-instead of blowing off in the wind during your next run.
