Lincoln Zephyr Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lincoln didn't hold back when they dressed the Zephyr. With 23 recorded colors, they covered every vibe from "Boardroom Professional" to "Midnight Jazz Club." You've got your stalwarts like Oxford White and Silver Frost Metallic, but then things get interesting with the "Effect" paints. Shades like Dark Amethyst Effect and Light Sage Pearl show that Lincoln really went for it, offering a depth that looks like it belongs in a jewelry case rather than a parking lot. It's a sophisticated lineup that proves luxury isn't just about the leather-it's about the sparkle.

What to Watch For

Before you pop the cap on that touch-up bottle, you need the secret handshake. Swing open the driver's side door and look for the VIN sticker; your mission is to find the two-character code next to "EXT PNT." Once you have that, take a look at the hood's leading edge and the roof. These cars have a bit of a sensitive side when it comes to the clear coat, especially on those flat surfaces where the sun likes to bake. You might also see a little "fatigue" or tiny bubbles around the door handles and chrome trim. Don't worry, it's nothing a steady hand can't manage.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because many Zephyr colors are "Pearl" or "Effect" finishes, they are packed with tiny metallic flakes that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for at least two full minutes-set a timer on your phone if you have to. If you're working on a pearl finish like Cashmere Effect Tricoat, remember that matching that depth requires patience. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, apply three or four paper-thin layers. Think of it like painting a portrait: you're building the color up, not just "filling a hole." This keeps the repair flush with the rest of the body so it catches the light just right.
