COLOR CODEFJ/M6705 - Berry MetallicLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Lincoln released this deep, sophisticated shade for a single year, making it a rare sight on the road today. Whether you are driving a Town Car, a Continental, or a Mark VIII, this color represents the height of mid-nineties luxury. It carries a heavy red undertone that shifts toward purple depending on the light. Since your Lincoln has been on the road since 1995, the original finish has likely deepened or faded slightly from the sun, so your main goal is to mimic that aged depth rather than chasing a factory-fresh glow that no longer exists on the rest of the body.

Technical Details

This is a traditional metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light. Metallics are notorious for mottling, those dark splotches or stripes that happen when the flakes don't lay down flat. If you apply the paint too thick or hold your hand too close to the surface, the flakes will bunch up and create a finish that looks dirty or uneven. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Berry Metallic (check for code FJ/M6705), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those flakes are fully suspended in the resin.

Best Practices

Open your driver side door and look at the bottom of the identification sticker on the pillar; you will see the code listed next to the "EXT PNT" label. Once you have confirmed the match, test the color on the included card to see how it looks once it dries. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid puddles. If you are using a pen or brush, use light dabs rather than long strokes. This paint requires a clear coat to achieve its final gloss and to protect the metallic bits from oxidizing. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and allow plenty of drying time between your layers to prevent the paint from sagging.
