Fleet Misc Paints Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Welcome to the "Workhorse Wardrobe." With only 2 colors officially in the mix, Fleet Misc isn't trying to win any beauty pageants-it's built for the job site. We're looking at the deep, professional Midnight Blue Metallic and the utilitarian TWS Bridge Gray (Custom Formula). These aren't just colors; they're the uniforms of the road. While one adds a bit of sparkle to the morning commute, the other is as no-nonsense as a Monday morning meeting.
What to Watch For
These paints lead a hard life. Because they're often on vehicles that spend 24/7 under the sun or getting pelted by road salt, keep an eye out for chalky oxidation or "ghosting" where the color looks a bit dull. These colors also tend to show hood chips from following gravel trucks too closely. Finding your code can be a bit of a scavenger hunt: check the glove box sticker or the driver's side door jamb. If you see a code like "XXX," don't panic-that just means you've got a custom fleet formula that requires a little extra care to match.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Midnight Blue Metallic is packed with tiny metal flakes, you need to be its best friend and shake that touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds. Those sparkles love to hide at the bottom, and you want them on your car, not in the jar. When applying the TWS Bridge Gray, remember that "less is more." Use the tip of your applicator to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow outward. It requires patience to build the layer up, but it beats having a "blob" that stands out more than the original scratch!
