2010 Fountain Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2010 Fountain Vibe

By 2010, the Fountain look was all about high-speed swagger and surgical precision. Whether you were piloting a Lightning or an Executioner, these machines were designed to look like they were breaking the sound barrier while still tied to the dock. While the rest of the world was hiding behind "safe" Silver Metallic, Fountain owners were still bold enough to demand the screamers. We've focused on the survivors of this era-the high-impact Bright Yellows and Teals that refused to fade into the background, and the legendary Grape (that very dark purple) that looked like liquid royalty under the midday sun.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the "Robot Efficiency" era. By 2010, the factory sprayers had become so precise it was borderline stingy. They stopped laying down the thick, forgiving coats of the past and started measuring paint in microns. This is the Thin Paint Era, where the clear coat looks like a million bucks on day one but has the structural integrity of a soap bubble. The clear is hard and glossy, but it's brittle. If you've got a rock chip or a dock scrape, you aren't just looking at a blemish-you're looking at a breach in a very thin perimeter. Once that UV gets under the edge of those thin layers, the pigment doesn't stand a chance.

Restoration Tip

Because 2010 factory paint is thinner than a politician's promise, you can't treat a repair like a "one-and-done" project. Do not-I repeat, do not-try to fix a chip by dropping a giant blob of paint into the crater. Our solvent-based formula is designed to "bite" into that factory finish and stay there, but it needs to be built up. Apply your color in thin, patient layers. This allows the solvents to flash off properly and anchors the new material to the old. You're essentially putting the "meat" back on the bones that the factory robots left behind.
