Ford Topaz Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford gave the Topaz exactly 8 colors, and it seems they were going through a very specific "Titanium" phase. From the moody Twilight Blue Metallic to the vibrant Sunrise Red Pearl Metallic, the palette was 1990s sophistication at its peak. However, half of the available options were variations of grey-ranging from Titanium Frost to Medium Titanium Pearl. They really went for it with the "50 shades of grey" look before it was a thing.

What to Watch For

After a few decades on the road, most Topaz paint jobs are showing their age. These cars were born during an era where clear coats weren't quite ready for the long haul, so it's common to see "sunburn" (peeling or flaking clear coat) on the hood, roof, and trunk. If you have the Sunrise Red Pearl, keep an eye out for fading, as those 90s reds loved to soak up the sun. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb; you're looking for a two-character code sitting right next to the "EXT PNT" label.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because the Topaz leans heavily on metallics and pearls, your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe of tiny glitter flakes that love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle or pen for a full two minutes-long enough to make your arm tired-to wake up those sparkles. When you're working on those common door-edge chips, remember that less is more. Apply the paint in thin, light layers rather than one big "glop." If you build it up slowly, the metallic flakes will lay down much flatter, giving you a repair that looks like it belongs there.
