FU/M7473 - Manhattan Green PearlLincoln Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was the signature choice for the 2022 Navigator Black Label, designed to capture the mood of Central Park at dusk. It is a deep, heavy green that can easily be mistaken for black when your car is parked in the shade. Since your Lincoln is a modern luxury icon, this paint helps it look grounded and substantial. It is an organic, earthy tone that replaces the usual aggressive blacks and grays with something more sophisticated. You will notice the color truly wakes up when the sun hits the panels, revealing a rich forest glow that highlights the lines of the body.

Technical Details

Lincoln designated this as a premium pearl finish, which means it contains microscopic mica flakes rather than just standard metallic bits. These particles are what give the paint its depth, but they also make the repair sensitive to how you apply it. Because the mica is translucent, your layers need to be thin and even. If you let the paint pool or apply it too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker than the rest of the door or hood. This is a heavy color, so it hides small road grime well, but it demands patience during the application to keep the pearl effect uniform.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the white or silver sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, listed right next to the text that says EXT PNT. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Manhattan Green Pearl (check for code FU/M7473), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those pearl particles off the bottom. Test the color on the included card first to see how the green shifts in the light. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the mica from bunching up. Work in a cool garage or the shade to ensure an even drying time, as heat can cause the flakes to settle poorly.
