1996 Four-Winns Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 1996 Four-Winns Vibe

Welcome to 1996-the year the Macarena was inescapable and every driveway or dock seemed to feature something in Hunter Green. Whether you were captaining a Horizon, a Sundowner, or a Vista, Four-Winns was leaning hard into that mid-90s "classy-meets-sporty" aesthetic. We haven't bothered with the experimental fluff; we've focused on the survivors that defined the era-those iconic shades like Dark Green and that very specific Light Rose Metallic that scream "premium 90s."

Paint Health Check

If you're staring at your 1996 rig today, you're likely dealing with the fallout of the "Peeling Era." By the mid-90s, the industry had fully transitioned to basecoat/clearcoat systems, but the tech was still in its awkward teenage years. The Gloss Trim Black might still have some life, but once that top clear layer gets a "sunburn," it's game over. We call it delamination-it starts as a tiny white flake and eventually peels off in sheets like a tourist who forgot his SPF. If your clear coat is lifting, your color underneath has lost its only bodyguard.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 1996 paint is simple: Seal chips immediately before the clear lifts. On these mid-90s models, a single rock chip or a deep dock-scrape is a gateway for moisture to get between the color and the clear. Once that bond is compromised, the delamination will spread like a rash. Don't wait until the panel looks like it's shedding its skin; dab some fresh paint into those voids and lock it down to keep the rest of that factory finish from jumping ship.
