Peterbilt Hot Fudge (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (N2414EA) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since this color was only active for 2017 across all models, seeing it on the road today is a rarity. This is not your standard fleet brown; it is a deep, indulgent tone that mimics the appearance of melted dark chocolate. Because your Peterbilt has likely been working hard since it left the factory, the original finish has probably mellowed slightly, but this rich shade does a fantastic job of masking the fine road dust and grime that usually plagues lighter trucks. It gives the machine a custom, owner-operator feel that stands out from the typical reds and whites seen at every rest stop.

Technical Details

This finish is a heavy metallic, meaning it relies on a dense suspension of light-catching flakes to create its depth. The challenge with metallic browns like this is mottling-where the flakes gather in uneven clusters and create dark, muddy patches. If you do not maintain a consistent flow, the flakes will not lay flat, and the repair will look like a series of stripes rather than a smooth surface. Because this is a catalyzed product, the paint is designed to be much harder and more chemical-resistant than standard touch-up options, but that also means you have a limited window to use it once the internal chamber is activated.

Best Practices

You can find your paint data on the driver's side door frame or occasionally inside the glove box. Before you start spraying or dabbing Peterbilt Hot Fudge (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (make sure you see code N2414EA on the label), you must shake the container for a full two minutes to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended. If your container has an activation button on the bottom, press it firmly and shake again to mix the hardener. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching your truck. Keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and maintain a consistent spray distance to avoid those metallic stripes. Let the drying time work in your favor by applying thin layers rather than one heavy coat, which prevents the flakes from sinking and losing their luster.
