2011 Fountain Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2011 Fountain Vibe

2011 was the year of high-speed posturing and making sure everyone on the shoreline knew exactly who you were. Whether you were rocking All Models in that deep, moody Grape or the high-vis Bright Yellow, the vibe was loud, fast, and unapologetically bold. We've managed to save the formulas for the most iconic survivors of this era-from the sleek Silver Metallic to that distinctively 2011 Teal. It was a time when the finish needed to look like glass while you were pushing the limits, even if the factory was starting to get a little stingy with the actual material.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2011, the robots in the paint booth had become dangerously efficient. We call it "Robot Efficiency"-where the factory spits out a finish that looks flawless but has about as much "meat" on the bone as a runway model. While your Fountain might still shine, that clear coat is likely thinner than you think. Because the film build is so tight, 2011 paint is notorious for "Robot Chips"-sharp, deep hits that go straight through to the primer because there just isn't enough paint thickness to absorb the impact. If you're seeing white speckles on the nose, it's not just wear and tear; it's a side effect of a decade of precision engineering.

Restoration Tip

When you're patching up a 2011 finish, you have to fight the urge to "blob and go." Because the factory paint is so thin, a heavy-handed repair will stand out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. Apply a thin coat, let it flash, and repeat until you're level with the surrounding surface. If you try to fill a chip in one shot, you'll end up with a high spot that's a nightmare to level out without sanding through the original factory clear coat nearby. Patience is your best friend here-keep it thin, just like the robots did.
