2004 Four-Winns Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Four-Winns Vibe

The year was 2004: everyone had an iPod Mini clipped to their belt, low-rise jeans were a structural hazard, and "All Models" of the Four-Winns line were out there cutting through the glare. In our database, we've focused on the real survivors of this transition era. While the world was turning toward boring shades of silver, Four-Winns was still leaning into that deep, forest-inspired Dark Green and the surprisingly classy Light Rose Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that you weren't quite ready to go "corporate gray" just yet.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 2004, manufacturers had mastered the art of the high-solids clear coat-it looked deep enough to swim in on the showroom floor, but it had a literal shelf life. If your Four-Winns has spent its life under the relentless UV of the open sun, you're likely seeing the "sunburn effect." This is classic delamination: the clear coat loses its bond with the base pigment, turning into a flaky, white crust that peels off in sheets. Once the Dark Green or Light Rose Metallic underneath is exposed to the air without its clear armor, it'll fade faster than a one-hit wonder on the Billboard charts.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your greatest enemy isn't just the sun-it's moisture getting under the edges of a tiny rock chip. Because clear coats from the early 2000s were applied with "efficiency" in mind, once a chip starts, the clear coat begins to lift like a bad sticker. The Fix: Seal every single chip the moment you see it. If you're touching up that Gloss Trim Black or a metallic area, don't just blob the color on and walk away. You need to overlap your clear touch-up slightly onto the healthy factory clear coat to "lock down" the edge. This stops the air and water from tunneling under the layer and turning a pinhead-sized chip into a palm-sized disaster.
