COLOR CODETA/M6703 - Venetian Blue MetallicLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the peak of mid-90s American luxury. You likely find it on a Town Car or a Mark VIII from the 1994 to 1995 era. It is a deep, dignified blue that sits comfortably between a navy and a royal shade. Because your Lincoln has likely been on the road for three decades, the original finish has matured. This blue does not just sit on the surface; it has a weight to it that makes these large cars feel more substantial.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the appearance of the repair depends entirely on how the flakes settle. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will bunch up and create dark, uneven patches known as mottling. This finish is less about total coverage in one go and more about building the color in thin, even layers. Metallic blues like this are sensitive to light, so the way you move the container will dictate how well the repair blends with the aging factory panels.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lincoln Venetian Blue Metallic (check for code TA/M6703), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code on the driver's side door jamb on the compliance sticker, usually listed next to the EXT PNT label. Because the paint on your car has likely faded from sun exposure over the years, you should always test the color on the included card first to see how it compares to your current finish. When you start, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent spray distance to ensure the flakes lay flat. Allow for plenty of drying time between each thin coat in your garage or shade to prevent the paint from sagging or trapping moisture.
