COLOR CODEG2 - Redfire Pearl EffectLincoln Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This red defines the mid-2000s era of American luxury. Whether it is draped over the massive panels of a Navigator or the sportier lines of an LS, the color provides a deep, sophisticated presence that demands attention without being loud. Since your Mark LT or Aviator has likely lived a full life on the road, you will notice that this shade has a unique way of glowing when the sun hits the curves of the metal. It is a mature, rich red that makes the chrome accents on these specific models pop.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it carries more personality and complexity than a standard flat red. The microscopic mica flakes suspended in the paint are what give it that liquid depth, but they also make the application sensitive to technique. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearl can look darker or muddier than the rest of the panel. Because these Lincolns often featured large, flat surfaces, getting the flake orientation right is the difference between a hidden touch-up and a visible smudge.

Best Practices

You will find your specific color information on the driver side door jamb sticker labeled under the "EXT PNT" heading. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Redfire Pearl Effect (check for code G2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the vehicle to see how the light reacts to the finish. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up and allow for plenty of drying time between light layers. Once the color is set, you must apply a clear coat to protect the mica and bring back that deep factory shine.
