2004 Fountain Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Fountain Vibe

2004 was the peak of the "Go Fast" era. If you weren't screaming across the water in a 35 Lightning or a 42 Fever while blasting the Top Gun soundtrack (on CD, naturally), were you even boating? The Fountain look was all about high-speed aggression and high-gloss impact. Our database has preserved the colors that define that Y2K hangover-from the deep, moody Grape that looks black until the sun hits it, to the high-visibility Bright Yellow and Teal that defined the offshore racing circuit. These weren't just boats; they were 80-mph status symbols.

Paint Health Check

By 2004, the industry was all-in on basecoat/clearcoat systems, which is exactly why we call this The Peeling Era. Your Fountain was born during a time when clear coats were getting thicker for that "wet look" shine, but the UV chemistry hadn't quite mastered the brutal combination of salt spray and sun. The big risk here is delamination. If your Silver Metallic or Teal is starting to look like it has a bad sunburn-where the clear layer is clouding or literally flaking off in sheets-that's the bond between the color and the clear finally giving up the ghost.

Restoration Tip

When you're dealing with a 2004 finish, speed is your best friend. Seal every chip immediately. Because of how these clear coats were layered, a single stone nick or dock rash is an entry point for moisture and air. Once air gets under the edge of that clear coat, it will start to lift and spread like a localized epidemic. Use our touch-up to bridge that gap and seal the edges of the clear coat back down to the base before a small chip turns into a foot-long peel.
