1994 Four-Winns Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Four-Winns Vibe

Welcome to 1994-the year of flannel shirts, "The Sign" by Ace of Base on loop, and the absolute peak of Forest Green dominance. Whether you were rocking a Horizon or a Vista, Four-Winns was leaning hard into that sophisticated, "I own a jet ski but pretend I don't" aesthetic. Our database has captured the survivors of this era, focusing on the heavy hitters like Dark Green and that undeniably 90s Light Rose Metallic. It was a time when Gloss Trim Black wasn't just a detail; it was the high-contrast frame for a hull that looked like it belonged in a lifestyle catalog.

Paint Health Check

We are officially in the "Peeling Era," and if you aren't careful, your Four-Winns is going to look like a sunburnt tourist. By 1994, the industry had fully committed to the Basecoat/Clearcoat (BC/CC) system. It looked deep and glossy on the showroom floor, but the bond between that color layer and the clear topper wasn't exactly a lifelong marriage. UV rays from a long weekend on the water act like a slow-motion wedge, causing "Delamination." You'll know the tragedy has begun when you see white, flaky patches that look like scotch tape peeling off a gift box. Once that clear lifts, the pigment underneath is as vulnerable as a fresh tattoo.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a small chip is never just a chip-it's an invitation for the clear coat to start its retirement early. My advice? Seal those chips the second you see them. If you let a nick in that Light Rose Metallic sit open to the elements, moisture and sun will crawl under the edges and start lifting the clear in sheets. Clean the area, dab your color, and make sure you've got a solid seal. If you catch it early, you can keep that 90s factory shine; if you wait until it starts "shedding skin," you're looking at a full strip and respray.
