1990 Lund Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The 1990 Lund Vibe

By 1990, the era of flat, boxy looks was fading faster than a bad pinstripe. Lund was moving into deep, moody Earth tones and rich metallics that defined the decade. Whether you were pulling a 2100 Baron or a Sport Fisherman, the 1990 palette was a serious spread. We're talking about a lineup of 10 heavy hitters, from the deep woods aesthetic of Forest Green and Graphite Gray to the sun-baked Sand Beach. If you really wanted to turn heads at the dock, you went for that shimmering Red Reef or the Cobalt Blue Metallic. It was a time when your boat didn't just catch fish; it looked like it belonged in the water.

Paint Health Check

Listen close: you're right in the heart of "The Peeling Era." By 1990, the industry had mostly walked away from the old thick-single-stage enamels and moved into the two-stage world-basecoat for the color and clear coat for the shine. It looks great until it doesn't. After thirty years of UV rays and rough trailering, that clear coat is likely losing its grip. If your Pewter or Medium Red starts looking like it has a bad sunburn-white, flakey, or peeling off in sheets-that's delamination. Once that clear lifts, the pigment underneath is sitting ducks for the elements.

Restoration Tip

The secret to saving a 1990 finish is to stop the "creep." When you see a chip in the Artic White or Black, don't just ignore it. If air and moisture get under the edge of the clear coat, they'll start prying it away from the basecoat like a putty knife. Use a precision touch-up to seal the border of any chip immediately. By "locking down" the edges of the clear coat, you prevent the delamination from spreading across the entire panel. Seal it now, or you'll be looking at a full strip-and-spray before the next season starts.
