COLOR CODEFBCH923558 - Vapor MistLund Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color hit the water in 2009, giving the entire lineup a sophisticated, industrial edge that feels right at home on the lake. It is a nuanced gray that mimics the hazy horizon of a morning mist. Because your boat has likely spent over a decade braving sun and spray, the original finish may have matured, but this shade is excellent at masking light oxidation and water spots. It is a working color for a boat that spends more time on the water than it does in the driveway.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and provide depth. These flakes are the secret to that shimmer, but they can be temperamental during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in a single pass, the flakes will bunch up and create dark, uneven patches. You want those metal particles to lay flat and even so they reflect light consistently. Building the color through thin layers is the best way to avoid a blotchy repair.

Best Practices

While car owners look in the door jamb, you will likely find your model details on the transom plate near the motor or in your original purchase documents. Before you spray or dab Lund Vapor Mist (check for code FBCH923558), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure those metallic flakes are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic particles settle. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure an even distribution of the shimmer. Always work in the shade to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time before the paint has a chance to level out.
