Mercury Cayman Metallic (DA/M6487) Paint Bottle Details

Medium-sized scratches and chips often need more paint than a pen can provide — especially on wide scuffs, bumper corners, or deeper chips. Our 2 oz Paint Bottle gives you enough coverage and control to blend repairs smoothly while still keeping the process simple for DIY users.

Each bottle includes a built-in brush for detailed touch-ups, and the paint is mixed fresh to your Mercury factory color code for an exact match. Use it to restore larger rock chips, door edge scrapes, and medium-length scratches. Finish with Clearcoat to restore original gloss and protect the repair from weather and UV damage.

Where to find Mercury color code

How to Find Your Mercury's Color Code

Mercury places the paint color code on the drivers door jamb. On the color plate, the code appears near EX PT (Exterior Paint), typically above or below; sometimes the actual color is embossed on the plate and not where expected. The typical format is WT/M6640, but the M6640 part is rarely used and often only WT appears. WT corresponds to Performance White Clearcoat. Pre 1970 Mercurys can be problematic due to same-name, different-color issues and different codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the basecoat bottle instead of the pen or spray can?

The basecoat bottle is perfect for small to medium paint chips, scratches, or scuffs where you want more paint than a pen provides but still want detailed control. It’s a great choice for DIY users who prefer to dab or brush paint onto the surface rather than spray.

How do I apply the paint from the bottle for the best finish?

Shake the bottle well, then use the included brush to apply thin layers of paint. Alternatively, this product can be used in a spray gun for a smoother application. Once the chip or scratch is level with the surface, finish with a clearcoat bottle for a glossy, durable seal.

Do I need to use primer and clearcoat with the basecoat bottle?

For best results we recommend applying primer if bare metal or plastic is showing, then finishing with a clearcoat bottle. This ensures the color bonds properly and provides long-lasting protection against fading, peeling, and rust.

How much coverage does one basecoat bottle provide?

A single bottle provides enough paint for dozens of small chips or scratches or several medium touch-ups. It’s an economical option for anyone maintaining one or more vehicles over time.

Can I use my own applicator or brush with the bottle?

Absolutely. While most users apply paint with a fine brush, you can also use a micro applicator, toothpick, or detailing tool for added precision. This flexibility makes the bottle ideal for both small touch-ups and slightly larger surface repairs.

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Mercury Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Mercury is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Mercury color code 'DA/M6487' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need clearcoat?

Clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

Depending on the size of the damage, here's what we recommend:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Because paint is custom-mixed, cancellations aren’t possible. But if there’s a color match issue, we’ll give you your money back!

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
