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 1979 Ford Explorer, 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 color code can be located in the driver side door jamb. Click here for the Ford paint code location chart and paint code image example.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1979 Ford Explorer 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:

Loren P, owner of a 1978 Ford from Galesburg, IL

Automotive Touch Up is amazing. The ease of ordering is unbelievable. So easy. I have always been amazed by the availability of such obscure colors for old vehicles. The paint arrived lightning fast. Darn good match for a 37 year old car! Thank you. I am so glad you are there for us old car folks.

Rodney R, owner of a 1978 Ford from Northville, MI

I received my order in a timely fashion, it was well boxed and arrived in good condition. I tested the paint on a piece of scrap metal, allowed it to dry and clear coated it, then compared it to my vehicle, the color on the vehicle is a hair darker than your product, but then it is a 1978 Ford vehicle, so I didn't expect an exact match. Other than that, the product is good quality and I would buy it again.
