2022 Lund Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Lund Vibe

By 2022, Lund had fully leaned into the "Tactical Angler" aesthetic. Whether you were rocking a Pro-V, a Tyee, or the ever-popular Impact XS, the vibe was less "old-school fisherman" and more "stealth mission on the water." This was the year of sophisticated, muted tones-what I call the fighter jet palette. With 10 core colors in our database, including the moody Wilderness Green, the sleek Vapor Mist, and the deep Cobalt Blue, 2022 proved that a fishing boat could look as sharp as a luxury sedan. It was all about high-contrast graphics against dark hulls like Charcoal or Black Metallic, giving every rig a custom, "overland" look that made the old white-and-red buckets of the 90s look like museum pieces.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Thin Paint Era. Back in my day, we sprayed paint thick enough to stop a bullet; today, the robots at the factory are programmed for "efficiency." Don't get me wrong, the 2022 factory enamel is a marvel of chemistry, but it's applied with the precision-and the thickness-of a whisper. On these aluminum hulls, the main enemy isn't just the sun; it's "Robot Stinginess." Because the coats are so uniform and thin, a single rogue jig head or a gravel-road commute can chip straight down to the silver. And keep an eye on those rivets-if you see a hint of white powder, that's crevice corrosion trying to lift your Silver Delfleet or Medium Gray. These modern finishes look a million bucks, but they don't have the "meat" on them to hide a lack of maintenance.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2022 rig, you have to play by the robot's rules: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because these modern finishes are so thin and flat, a giant "glob" of touch-up paint will stand out like a sore thumb. For colors like Arctic White, Beige, or Black Metallic, we've specifically formulated them for Catalyzed Spray Only. This is because these high-tech pigments need the hardener to match the factory's chemical "snap" and durability. Use light, misty passes rather than one heavy soak. You're aiming to build the thickness of the repair to match the surrounding "thin" factory coat perfectly. If you try to rush it, you'll end up with a high spot that'll catch the light every time you're backing into the driveway.
