Fleet Ice Blue Metallic (44437) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the quiet workhorse of the road, serving as a staple for utility and commercial vehicles from 1966 all the way through 2000. It is a classic, light-toned blue that manages to look professional and clean even when the vehicle has been through a long week of work. Because your vehicle has likely been in service for quite some time, you should expect this blue to have a soft, muted character that ages better than high-impact primary colors. It provides a crisp, metallic finish that hides road dust far better than a solid white or a dark navy would.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light. These flakes are heavier than the blue pigment, and they love to sink to the bottom of the container while it sits on your shelf. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a finish that looks blotchy or "mottled," where some areas look like dark blue stains and others look like bright silver streaks. To get that uniform, factory-fresh appearance, you need to ensure those flakes are perfectly suspended before they ever touch your vehicle.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Ice Blue Metallic (check for code 44437), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those heavy metallic particles. You can usually find this code on the driver's side door pillar or tucked away on a silver sticker inside the glovebox. To prevent the metallic flakes from bunching up and creating stripes, always keep the container moving in steady, rhythmic passes. Before you commit to the repair, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current level of paint fade.
