2002 Lund Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The 2002 Lund Vibe

Back in 2002, if you weren't pulling a Pro-V or a Tyee behind a pewter-colored Suburban, were you even fishing? This was the era when Lund decided boat paint should look as good as a factory truck finish. We've tracked 11 specific colors from this vintage, and it's a total Y2K time capsule. You had the staples like Graphite Gray and Black, but the real heroes were those deep, metallic tones like Cobalt Blue Metallic and Forest Green. Even the "beige" of the day, Sand Beach, was designed to blend in with the shoreline while you were busy hauling in walleye. It was a time of heavy metallic flakes and ambitious two-tone schemes that made these aluminum hulls look like fiberglass jewels.

Paint Health Check

We're firmly in "The Peeling Era" here. While 2002 Lunds are built like tanks, the paint technology of the early 2000s had a bit of a mid-life crisis. The biggest threat to your Fisherman or Baron isn't a rocky shore-it's delamination. This is the era where the bond between the clear coat and the basecoat (or the primer and the aluminum) can start to fail. If you see your Quick Silver or Red Reef starting to look "milky" or flaking off in sheets near the rivets, that's the clear coat losing its grip. Once the sun and the spray get under that top layer, the clear will lift faster than a hooked pike.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a chip is never "just a chip." Because of the risk of delamination, you need to seal any breach in the clear coat immediately before the edges start to curl. If you've got a nick on the hull, don't just dab it with a marker. Clean it, hit it with a color match, and ensure you're sealing the edges of the existing clear coat. This "locks" the factory finish down and prevents the dreaded "clear coat creep" where a tiny pebble chip turns into a square foot of missing paint by next season.
