COLOR CODEDV/M7081 - Light Tundra MetallicLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the peak of the mid-2000s luxury SUV era. Whether it is on a Navigator, an Aviator, or the LS sedan, this shade leans into a sophisticated, earthy neutral that masks road grime better than almost any other factory finish. It carries a distinct greenish-gray undertone that provides a more premium feel than a standard champagne or silver. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a couple of decades, the original finish has likely mellowed, making this a forgiving color for small repairs.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny reflective flakes. These flakes are responsible for the depth you see in the sun, but they can be temperamental during application. If you apply the paint too thick, the metal particles will settle unevenly and create dark, cloudy spots. This effect ruins the uniform look of the panel. You need to focus on thin, even layers to keep those flakes standing up straight and reflecting light correctly.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and find the VIN sticker on the door jamb to locate the label marked EXT PNT. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Light Tundra Metallic (check for code DV/M7081), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to see how it matches your current paint fade. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid heavy build-up in your garage or in the shade. Once you finish, allow for plenty of drying time before you apply a clear coat to seal the repair.
