GK4/PK4 - Medium Suede MetallicEagle Touch Up Paint

The Look

The Eagle Premier arrived in 1988 as a sophisticated European-inspired sedan, and this color served as its understated calling card. It is a warm, earthy champagne that felt expensive and modern at the time of the brand's launch. Since your Premier has been on the road for over thirty years, the original finish has likely shifted toward a lighter, drier tone due to UV exposure. This is a rare piece of automotive history, so your goal is to bridge the gap between that vintage 1980s depth and the current state of your car.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create its signature glow. Metallics are temperamental because the flakes want to sink or clump together. If you apply the paint too heavily, you will end up with dark, muddy patches or visible stripes known as mottling. This happens because the heavy metallic particles do not have enough time to lay flat before the paint begins to set. You need to build the color with light, even coats so the flakes can distribute themselves across the surface naturally.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code plate located on the passenger side inner fender well or mounted near the radiator support. Before you spray or dab Eagle Medium Suede Metallic (check for code GK4/PK4), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully integrate the metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to see how it compares to your weathered finish. Whether you are in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at all times to maintain a steady flow. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the color from sagging or darkening.
