CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1981 Lincoln (All Models), we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The Lincoln color code can be located in the driver side door jamb. It is two digits long and consists of numbers and/or letters.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1981 Lincoln (All Models) is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

John H, owner of a 1989 Lincoln from Sonora, CA

Well, the verdict is in. I purchased your paint, color code Lincoln 3Q (crystal blue metallic), plus High Gloss Clear Coat, and the match is PERFECT! It covered several deep rock chips and scrape marks that I repaired on my front bumper. I’m simply amazed on how you folks can match the color; after 20+ years of insults, the ultra violet rays gave, from the sun. Furthermore, others, including a professional body repairman, stated the match is, “Right on the mark”. The only regret I have, is not taking before and after pictures with a digital camera. Needless to say, I am placing your products on my Christmas wish list for future repairs. In addition, thank you for your videos on how to use your products. They were most helpful. Thanks to you, my 1989 Lincoln Continental (Signature) can ‘rock and roll’ down the highway with a nearly flawless, original body paint.

David K, owner of a 1999 Lincoln Navigator from Omaha, NE

Color was right on the money! Great for a guy with old cars.

Stacey S, owner of a 2000 Lincoln LS8 from Silver Springs, NV

The paint was a perfect match. You had the products here in a timely manner and very curious. I will use this site again. Thanks
