2011 Lund Touch Up Paint (7 OEM Colors)

The 2011 Lund Vibe

By 2011, the "industrial chic" look was in full swing, and Lund was leaning hard into that clean, high-contrast aesthetic. Whether you were rocking a Pro-V or the ever-reliable Impact, the color palette was all about professional-grade utility. We've dialed in the 7 definitive colors that defined this year-from the sharp Artic White to the deep, moody Cobalt Blue. And let's not forget Vapor Mist, the color that proved "silver" could actually look mean on a hull. This was the era where boats started looking less like lake toys and more like high-performance machines.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2011, factory robots had become masters of efficiency, which is a polite way of saying they sprayed just enough paint to cover the aluminum and not a drop more. While this makes for a sleek, lightweight finish, it doesn't leave much room for "oops" moments at the dock. The biggest headache for this year? The Rivet Pop. Because these coats are so thin, the paint creates a brittle "shell" over the rivets. When that aluminum hull flexes-and it will-that thin shell is the first thing to crack and flake away, leaving your boat looking like it's got a case of the chickenpox.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these 2011 beauties, remember that patience is your best friend. Since the factory coat is thin, your repair will stand out like a sore thumb if you just "blob" the paint on. Build your layers slowly. Apply a thin coat, let it flash off, and repeat until you're level with the original surface. For those high-durability colors like Classic White or Medium Red that require a catalyzed spray, don't skimp on the prep-once that hardener kicks in, you want it sticking to the boat, not your ego.
