2020 Lund Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Lund Vibe

Welcome to 2020, where the "Year of the Blue" met the tactical "Blackout" trend. If you were captaining a Pro-V or a Tyee back then, you weren't just fishing; you were making a statement in Cobalt Blue or the moody, earth-toned Wilderness Green. With 12 colors in the fleet, including the metallic pop of Blazing Copper and the stealthy Vapor Mist, Lund was leaning hard into that modern, high-contrast look. It was the era of the "everything boat"-rigged with more screens than a NASA control room and finished in colors that looked as sharp at the dock as they did on the sonar.

Paint Health Check

Now, here is the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: we are officially in the Thin Paint Era. By 2020, the robots at the factory had become masters of "efficiency," which is just a polite way of saying they applied the bare minimum to get the job done. While that Silver Delfleet or Black Metallic looks like a million bucks under the showroom lights, those layers are thin. You've likely noticed that the gunwales chip if you so much as look at a lead jig the wrong way, and "dock rash" isn't just a scratch-it's a deep dive straight to the aluminum. You might even see some bubbling around the rivets; that's the modern finish struggling to stay bonded when the environment gets salty.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2020, you have to respect the robot's work. Because the factory finish is so thin, a heavy "blob" of paint will stand out like a sore thumb and likely peel off in a month. Build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tip brush or a calibrated spray to apply multiple paper-thin coats rather than one thick one. This mimics that tight, factory-stretched look and ensures the repair actually sticks to the substrate. If you're working with Arctic White or Charcoal, remember: patience is your best primer. Let it flash off between passes, and don't try to fill a canyon in one shot.
