Fleet Basecoat Touch Up Paint (243 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Fleet Basecoat library is surprisingly deep, with 244 recorded colors that prove "utility" doesn't have to mean "boring." While you'll find plenty of the standard Bright Yellow and Fleet Red, someone in the commercial department clearly has a wild side-how else do you explain Lavender Frost Metallic, Lake Placid Blue, or the mysterious Black Expresso Pearl? Whether you're driving a delivery van or a custom hauler, these colors were designed to be noticed and, more importantly, to be durable.

What to Watch For

Because Fleet vehicles are the workhorses of the road, they tend to take a beating that your average Sunday driver doesn't. You'll mostly find the paint code on a "Service Parts Identification" sticker, but finding it is like a mini Easter egg hunt: check the driver's door jamb first, but don't be shocked if it's hiding inside the glove box or under the hood near the strut towers. Keep an eye out for "chalking" or fading on the roof and hood-since these vehicles spend 24/7 in the sun, the clear coat can get a bit tired, leading to small chips that eventually want to peel.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since this lineup includes some heavy-hitting metallics like Mako Blue and Vomela Silver Metallic, your biggest secret weapon is a good workout: shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds before you start. Those metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you want them in the brush, not in the bottle. When you're filling a chip, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do two thin coats than one big blob that looks like a colorful wart on your hood. Patience is your best friend here!
