1993 International Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1993 International Vibe

1993 was a year of flannel shirts, "I'd Do Anything for Love" on the dash radio, and International trucks proving they were the backbone of the highway. Whether you were piloting a 4900 Series dump truck or a long-haul 9400, these rigs were built with one goal: outlast the driver. We've kept our focus on the survivors of this era, specifically that iconic industrial Beige. Back then, you didn't need a neon palette to get the job done; you just needed a color that looked as steady and reliable as the DT466 engine under the hood.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of The Peeling Era. By 1993, International-like everyone else-was fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system, but the chemistry hadn't quite mastered the "handshake" between the layers. The reality is that while the steel on these trucks is tough as nails, the clear coat on the hood and roof has a habit of surrendering to the sun. You've likely seen it: "Delamination." It starts as a small cloudy patch and eventually flakes off like a bad sunburn, leaving the base color exposed, chalky, and defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

If your '93 International still has its original shine, you've got to be proactive. Seal every rock chip immediately before the clear coat starts to lift. Once moisture and air get under that top layer, the delamination will spread like a wildfire. When repairing a spot, use a fine-grit abrasive to "feather" the edges of the failing clear coat back until you hit a spot where it's still firmly bonded. Our solvent-based formula is designed to bite into that existing finish and provide the heavy-duty seal these 90s rigs need to keep the rust at bay for another thirty years.
