WT7809 - Light Olive Ford Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 1995 Bronco is carrying a piece of specialized history. This color was not your typical showroom shade; it often served as a fleet-specific choice for utility vehicles and park rangers. Because it was only active for a single year, seeing it on a civilian truck today is a rarity. It gives off a rugged, functional vibe that feels more like equipment than a luxury SUV. Since your Ford has likely been on the road for nearly three decades, the original finish might have faded or shifted toward a flatter tone, but this pigment still holds that distinct, mid-nineties outdoor character.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls buried in the paint. The benefit is that you do not have to worry about the orientation of flakes or "mottling" where the color looks striped. However, solid colors are honest-they show every imperfection. Without the distraction of a sparkle, any unevenness in your application will be visible. Because it is a solid, the color relies entirely on a smooth surface to look right. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, it may appear darker than the rest of the panel once it dries, so focus on thin, even layers.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look at the safety sticker on the driver side door jamb; the code is listed next to the letters EXT PNT. Before you spray or dab Ford Light Olive (check for code WT7809), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are mixed properly. Do not trust the wet color in the container. Test the color on the included card first and let it dry to see the final result. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or creating a heavy edge. If you are working in your garage, ensure you have plenty of light to see how the new paint sits against the aged finish of your truck.
