Lincoln MKT Touch Up Paint (47 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Lincoln MKT is a bit of a bold choice-it's what happens when a spaceship and a luxury lounge have a very stylish baby. With 47 colors in the archives, Lincoln really went for it. You've got everything from the sophisticated Bordeaux Reserve Pearl and Cinnamon Pearl to the surprisingly playful Too Good to Be Blue Metallic. Whether yours is a deep "50 shades of grey" like Sterling Gray or a flashy Red Candy Tricoat, there is a lot of personality packed into that paint.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop the driver's door and look at the sticker on the jamb. You're looking for the letters "EXT PNT"-the two-character code right next to it is your golden ticket to the right match. Now, the MKT has a bit of a quirk: it uses aluminum for the hood and the liftgate. Sometimes, the paint on these panels can get a little "moody" and start to form tiny bubbles or blisters near the edges. If you see a chip starting to lift, catch it early! These "soft" luxury finishes also tend to pick up road rash (tiny white pepper spots) on that big, beautiful nose, so keep your touch-up pen handy.

Driveway Repair Tip

Lincoln is famous for those "Tricoat" and "Pearl" finishes, which mean there are tiny sparkles and extra layers of depth in your paint. My best advice? Shake that bottle like you're making a martini. Give it a solid 60 seconds of vigorous shaking to wake up all those metallic flakes; otherwise, they'll stay huddled at the bottom and your repair will look too dark. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Think of it like nail polish-one thin dab, let it dry for twenty minutes, then another thin dab. Patience is what makes the repair disappear!
