1993 Four-Winns Background Info
The 1993 Four-Winns Vibe
1993 was the absolute peak of the "Forest Green" obsession. If you weren't looking at a deep, emerald hue, you were probably staring at its neighbor on the 90s palette: that distinctive, almost-pink Light Rose Metallic. These were the colors of early-90s sophistication. We've focused our database on the true survivors of this era, keeping the torch lit for the Dark Greens and that "don't-call-it-pink" Rose Metallic that defined the look of 1993. It was an era where trailers actually matched the hulls, and everything looked better with a bit of Gloss Trim Black to break up the color.
Paint Health Check
Welcome to the peak of "The Peeling Era." By 1993, the industry had gone all-in on the basecoat-and-clear system, but they hadn't exactly perfected the handshake between the two layers. This is the era of delamination. If your paint looks like it's getting a bad sunburn-where the clear skin is flaking off in sheets to reveal a dull, chalky pigment underneath-you've got clear coat failure. Once that bond breaks, your paint is basically a ticking clock. The metallics, like the Light Rose, are especially vulnerable because those tiny flakes of metal can act like little wedges for moisture once the clear is compromised.
Restoration Tip
Listen close: in this era, a rock chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for disaster. If you see a chip in that Dark Green, you need to seal it immediately. If moisture gets under the "shelf" of the clear coat, it will travel, and before you know it, you'll have a map of the Hawaiian Islands peeling off your panel. Clean the chip, dab your color, and ensure you're overlapping the edges of the surrounding clear to lock it down. Think of it as a tactical seal-keep the clear from lifting, and you'll keep the color for another thirty years.
