COLOR CODEBG/M7421 - Baltic Sea Green MetallicLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are looking at a rare slice of automotive history. This specific shade was a one-year-only release, appearing exclusively on the 2019 MKC as part of a push for more sophisticated, earthy tones. It is not your typical "forest green" or a dated teal from the nineties. Instead, it behaves like the water it is named after, shifting from a deep, moody emerald to a brighter, crisp aquatic hue when the sun hits the curves of your Lincoln. Because this color was only on the road for a single model year, your car stands out in a sea of grayscale crossovers.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Baltic Sea Green Metallic (check for code BG/M7421), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the pigment to catch the light. If you do not mix it thoroughly, the green will look flat or "muddy" compared to the original factory finish. Metallics can also be prone to mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark spots. You can avoid this by applying thin, even layers rather than trying to hide the damage in one heavy pass.

Best Practices

To confirm you have the right match, find the VIN sticker on your driver's side door jamb and look for the letters "BG" next to the EXT PNT heading. Before you start the repair in your garage or a patch of shade, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density matches your car's current look. When you are ready to apply the paint, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the metallic particles from pooling. Give each layer enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky before you apply your clear coat.
