Lincoln MKC Touch Up Paint (43 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lincoln didn't just paint the MKC; they treated it like a luxury jewelry box. With 43 recorded colors, they clearly leaned into the "treat yourself" vibe. We're talking about everything from the "I'm late for a gala" White Chocolate Tricoat and Black Tie Pearl to the surprisingly adventurous Blue Jeans Metallic and Tahitian Pearl. They really went for it with the pearls-it seems like every other color is a "Tricoat" or a "Chroma" something-or-other, designed to catch the light at just the right angle in a valet line.

What to Watch For

While the finish is usually top-tier, the MKC can occasionally get a little "emotional" about its age. You might notice some tiny bubbles forming around the edges of the aluminum hood or at the bottom of the doors-that's a known quirk where the paint decides it wants a little breathing room. Also, because Lincoln loves those thick, multi-stage pearls, the clear coat can sometimes feel a bit soft and prone to stone chips on the front nose. If you're ready to fix a spot, you'll find your "secret recipe" paint code exactly where Lincoln (and Ford) hide it: open your driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. Your code is a two-digit combo sitting right next to the "EXT PNT" label at the bottom.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors-like White Platinum or Ruby Red-are pearl-heavy "Tricoats," the metallic flakes inside your touch-up bottle love to settle at the bottom and take a nap. Shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake them up. When you apply the paint, remember: thin is win. Don't try to fill a deep chip in one go; you'll end up with a dark blob. Instead, dab in a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and repeat until it's level. It requires a little more patience than a standard flat color, but it's the only way to get that Chroma Flame to actually look like a flame and not a smudge.
