1990 Four-Winns Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1990 Four-Winns Vibe

Welcome to 1990-the year the world finally decided that everything, from your kitchen tiles to your 255 Sundowner, needed to be a deep, soulful shade of green. It was an era of transition where the blocky 80s aesthetics were softening into the "aero" look, and Four-Winns was leading the charge with models like the Horizon and the Liberator. While the palette was shifting, we've focused our efforts on the true survivors of the era. Whether you're rocking the legendary Dark Green that defined the decade, a crisp Gloss Trim Black, or the unapologetically '90s Light Rose Metallic, these colors represent the high-water mark of early-90s style before the world turned entirely silver and grey.

Paint Health Check

If you're looking at a factory finish from 1990, you're standing right in the crosshairs of The Peeling Era. By this time, the industry had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system, but they hadn't quite perfected the "staying attached" part. You're likely dealing with delamination-that heartbreaking phenomenon where the clear coat starts to flake off like a bad sunburn, leaving the color coat underneath exposed and vulnerable. Once the UV rays punch through that clear layer, the pigment doesn't stand a chance. If your Four-Winns still has its shine, count your lucky stars, but look closely for "crow's feet" or tiny white bubbles-that's the clear coat preparing to go on strike.

Restoration Tip

In this era of delamination, gravity and moisture are your biggest enemies. The moment you see a stone chip or a deep scratch in that Dark Green or Rose Metallic, you have to act. Seal those chips immediately. Once a chip provides a "ledge" for the wind and water to get under the clear coat, the delamination will spread across the panel like a wildfire. Use a high-solid touch-up to bridge the gap between the base and the clear. If you're already seeing "lifting" at the edges, don't try to buff it out-you'll just peel more away. Clean the area gently, seal the edges of the failing clear, and pray to the gods of solvent-based chemistry.
