CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1973 Ford Explorer, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The color code can be located in the driver side door jamb. Click here for the Ford paint code location chart and paint code image example.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1973 Ford Explorer is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Rudy Irizarry, owner of a 1973 Ford from Cleveland, Ohio

Thank you so much, all of the paint on out Torino is original, and this is a perfect match with 40 year old paint. Thank you guys.

Richard D, owner of a 1973 Ford from Westport, CT

Actually I wasn't touching up. I wanted to see the factory color that I was thinking of changing the car to. After painting a replacement tailgate with AUTOMOTIVETOUCHUP I am looking at it for a while. The car is not going to be painted until spring, so there is time to think about it. It's great being able to buy factory colors for a test.
