Your Paint Color Profile

M4261K - Dark Denim (Interior)

The Look

This color captures the essence of early 2000s American luxury. When you look at the cabin of a Town Car or Navigator from this era, you see a shift toward deeper, more sophisticated tones that replaced the flatter greys of the nineties. It is a moody, executive blue that feels substantial. Because your Lincoln has likely been on the road for over two decades, this interior shade has probably faced its share of sun exposure and cleaning chemicals. It does a decent job of hiding minor scuffs, but like any dark surface, it will highlight dust and skin oils. Restoring these high-traffic trim pieces brings back that composed, factory-fresh atmosphere.

Technical Details

While many interior colors are simple solids, this specific finish carries a subtle metallic character that provides depth under cabin lighting. This added complexity means you have to be careful during application. If the metallic particles bunch up in one spot, you will end up with dark patches or "tiger stripes" that look uneven once they dry. Since you are working on interior components, maintaining a consistent texture is just as important as the color. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Dark Denim (Interior) (check for code M4261K), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure those heavy metallic pigments are fully suspended.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the manufacturer sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Since this is an older interior, the plastic or vinyl may have changed texture over time. Test the color on the included card to see how the sheen reacts before you touch the actual trim. If you are using a spray, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid pooling in the grain of the plastic. If you are using a brush or pen, use the lightest touch possible. Applying several thin layers is better than one thick coat, as it preserves the original molded texture of your dashboard or door panels. Ensure the area stays at a consistent temperature in your garage or a patch of shade, and allow for plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from becoming tacky.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Lincoln's Color Code

Lincoln color codes are always on the drivers door jamb. On the color plate, EX PT (for Exterior Paint) appears, with the paint code located above or below; sometimes the actual color is embossed on the plate and not where expected. Typical format: WT/M6640, though M6640 is rarely shown and typically only WT appears. WT corresponds to Performance White Clearcoat. Pre 1970 Lincolns can be problematic due to same names with different codes.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
