2002 Four-Winns Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2002 Four-Winns Vibe

Welcome to 2002, an era when the world was obsessed with silver electronics and "Y2K-is-over" relief, but the docks were singing a different tune. While every sedan on the road was trying to look like a kitchen appliance, Four-Winns was keeping it classy across All Models. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of the era-the colors that actually had some soul. We're talking about the deep, forest-inspired Dark Green, the foundational Gloss Trim Black, and that quintessential early-2000s statement piece: Light Rose Metallic. If you're rocking the Rose, you aren't just driving a boat; you're piloting a time machine back to a time when metallic flakes were loud and confidence was high.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real about the "Peeling Era." By 2002, the industry had fully committed to the basecoat-clearcoat system. It looked like a million bucks in the showroom, but twenty years later, we're seeing the dark side: Delamination. This is the era where the clear coat decides it's had enough of the basecoat and starts lifting off like a bad sunburn. On a 2002 Four-Winns, that Light Rose Metallic depends entirely on that clear top layer to stay pretty. Once that clear starts to cloud or flake, the pigment underneath is defenseless. If you see white, crusty edges around a chip, that's not salt-that's your finish giving up the ghost.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for this era? Seal those chips immediately. In the 2002 fleet, a small rock chip or a dock dink isn't just an eyesore; it's an entry point for moisture. Once water gets between the base color and the clear coat, it acts like a wedge, freezing and expanding until your clear coat lifts in giant sheets. Grab a touch-up pen or bottle the moment you see a nick. By sealing the edges of the damage now, you're essentially "gluing" the clear coat down and preventing a localized chip from turning into a full-blown hood or hull peel. Don't wait for the clear to lift; once it starts, you're looking at a total strip-and-spray job.
