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 1978 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 1978 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:

Bryan H, owner of a 1979 Ford F-Series from Grants Pass, OR

The color match is perfect! Thanks so much for a great product.

Rob D, owner of a 1977 Ford from Browns Mills, NJ

The paint was one shade too light, but since I was repainting the entire truck and the color looked good on the truck so I went with it. Thanks guys, it helped me fulfill a promise to my grandparents that gave me the truck in sad shape.
