2013 Fountain Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2013 Fountain Vibe

By 2013, Fountain wasn't just building boats; they were building statement pieces that could outrun a summer squall. Whether you were rocking the classic high-performance hull or one of their sportier center consoles, the vibe was "loud and fast." Our database captures the essence of that year with five heavy hitters that defined the era. We've focused on the survivors-the high-impact tones that refused to fade into the background. We're talking about that retina-searing Bright Yellow, the deep and moody Grape (which is basically a purple so dark it looks like it belongs in a jazz club), and the high-tech Silver Metallic. Throw in some Teal and a standard Yellow, and you've got a palette that screams "I have nowhere to be, and I'm getting there at 80 mph."

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: You're officially in the Thin Paint Era. By 2013, the robots running the show had become masters of "efficiency." Back in the day, we used to spray enough clear coat to bury a nickel; by 2013, the goal was to use the absolute bare minimum required to satisfy the warranty. This means your Fountain has a finish that looks like a million bucks but has the thickness of a cheap butterfly wing. The biggest risk here is "Robot Efficiency" failure-the coats are so thin that once a chip starts, the clear coat doesn't have enough "meat" to hold on, leading to localized delamination. If you're aggressive with a buffer, you'll burn through to the basecoat before you can even say "Reggie Fountain."

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these 2013 finishes, you have to fight the urge to be a hero. Because the factory finish is so thin, a "blob and sand" approach will leave you with a permanent scar. Therefore, the secret is to build your layers slowly. Don't try to fill the chip in one shot. Apply a thin layer of color, let it tack up, and repeat until you're just shy of level. If you blob it on, the solvent gets trapped, the paint shrinks, and you'll be left with a crater. Slow and steady wins the race-even if the boat it's on was built for the exact opposite.
