2004 Lincoln Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Lincoln Vibe

2004 was the year Lincoln decided that if you were going to drive a tank, it ought to look like a rolling ballroom. The Navigator and its "mini-me" sibling, the Aviator, were everywhere, dripping in chrome and high-luster finishes. We've got all 11 of the big hitters from that year in our vault. Whether you're looking for that country-club staple Cashmere Tricoat, the deep Merlot Pearl, or the ever-popular Silver Birch Pearl Metallic, these colors weren't just paint-they were status symbols. It was an era where Lincoln proved that luxury didn't have to be subtle; it just had to be shiny.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real. We are firmly in the "Peeling Era" here. By 2004, the industry had the basecoat down to a science, but the clear coat was another story. Your Lincoln likely left the factory with a beautiful shine, but if it's spent two decades under the sun, you're probably looking at the early stages of delamination. It starts as a faint white haze on the roof or hood-almost like a bad sunburn-and eventually, that clear layer starts flaking off in sheets. Once the clear coat decides it's done with the basecoat, it's a race against time before your luxury rig looks like it's molting.

Restoration Tip

Here is the word from the booth: seal those chips immediately. On these mid-2000s finishes, a rock chip isn't just a tiny eyesore; it's an entry point. Air and moisture get under the "lip" of the clear coat and start the peeling process. If you see a nick in that Black Ebony or Pueblo Gold, don't wait for the weekend. Clean it out, dab your touch-up, and make sure you've sealed the edge of the clear. Think of it like a snag in a sweater-if you don't fix it now, the whole thing is going to unravel.
