Authentic Ford N6 Lightning Blue Metallic Urethane Basecoat Paint – Bold, Electric Blue!

Bring Back Factory-Fresh Lightning Blue Metallic (OEM Paint Code N6) Restore or refresh that striking, vibrant blue with metallic sparkle (N6) – the eye-catching, deep Lightning Blue Metallic found on select Ford models including the F-150 Lightning, Mustang, Explorer, Edge, Escape, Bronco, and more. This premium urethane basecoat delivers rich depth, brilliant metallic flake with dramatic flip-flop shimmer under light, and strong UV resistance for a durable, showroom-quality finish that lasts.

Key Features & Technical Data

• Exact OEM color match to factory N6 (also referred to as Lightning Blue Metallic or Lightning Blue)
• Premium automotive urethane basecoat – sprays evenly with outstanding coverage (typically 2–3 medium coats for full hide)
• High-quality metallic flakes create vibrant pop and dynamic color-shift under different lighting
• Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can is selected) for gloss, durability, and UV protection
• Backed by precise color-matching data for superior accuracy
• Mix Ratio (Unreduced): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume) – use medium/fast reducer depending on temperature/humidity
• Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13–15 seconds in a #4 Zahn cup
• Coverage: Approximately 250–300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4–0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding
• Flash Times: 5–10 minutes between coats; 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (at 70°F – adjust for conditions)
• Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2–4 hours
• Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 0.4–0.8 mil per coat (total basecoat 1–2 mil)

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

• Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-thinned in the can – simply shake/stir and spray. Ideal for fast, small jobs (sprayable volume = purchased amount).
• Unreduced: Concentrated basecoat – mix yourself (usually 1:1 with reducer). Higher paint solids per container = better yield and maximum control over thinning.

2. Mix (Unreduced only) – 1:1 basecoat to reducer; stir thoroughly
3. Spray – Apply 2–3 medium wet coats with 50% overlap; flash 5–10 min between coats (70°F)
   • HVLP gun recommended: 30–50 PSI (gravity feed) or 10–15 PSI cap pressure
4. Final Flash – 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (max 24 hrs without scuffing)

Important Application Notes

• Basecoat only (unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can selected) – must be topped with quality 2K clear
