2009 Fountain Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2009 Fountain Vibe

By 2009, Reggie Fountain's speed machines were the kings of the poker run. Whether it was a 42 Lightning screaming across the bay or a 38 Fever carving up the coast, these boats weren't just about velocity-they were about the "look-at-me" graphics. In an era where the rest of the world was tightening its belt, Fountain kept it loud. We've locked down the five essential survivors of that late-aughts palette, including that deep, moody Grape and the iconic Teal and Bright Yellow that made these hulls legendary from a mile away.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the "Thin Paint Era." By 2009, the industry had perfected robot efficiency, meaning those high-end polyurethane finishes were applied with surgical precision-and surgical thinness. While it looked like a mirror on the showroom floor, there's very little "meat" on the bone for correction. If your 2009 Fountain has spent a decade in the sun, you're likely seeing clear coat stress or "ghosting" around the edges of the graphics where the robot eased off the trigger. If you try to buff out a deep scratch with the same aggression you'd use on a 90s hull, you'll burn through to the primer before you can say "dock rash."

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these modern finishes, you have to respect the robot's work. Build your layers slowly. This isn't the era of thick, self-leveling lacquer where you can just "blob" it on and sand it back later. Use thin, even passes to match that factory-flat profile. If you're repairing a chip in a metallic shade like Silver Metallic, remember that the thinness of the original coat means the flake orientation is very tight; keep your touch-up coats light to prevent the metallic from "gathering" and looking darker than the surrounding area.
