2019 International Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2019 International Vibe

2019 was the year of the "Efficiency King." If you were staring down the grille of an International LT Series or a LoneStar back then, you were looking at a machine built for the long haul. The color palette from this era wasn't about showing off at a concours; it was about fleet-ready resilience. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of the 2019 lineup-the high-visibility heavyweights like Bright Red and Yellow, alongside the corporate essentials like Gray, Med Red, and Beige. It was a time when "Neutral" was a lifestyle, but a bold red truck still commanded the fast lane.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2019, the robots in the factory had become a little too good at their jobs. They calibrated those sprayers for maximum "efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying they laid it on thin. While the factory finish looked like a mirror on the showroom floor, these trucks live a hard life in the sun. The biggest threat to a 2019 International isn't just the road salt; it's clear coat delamination. On those massive hoods and roof caps, the clear coat takes a beating from UV rays, and once a stone chip breaks the seal, the clear starts to lift away from the base color like a bad sunburn.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2019 rig, remember that you're working with a thin factory profile. You can't just slap a heavy glob of paint on a chip and expect it to level out-it'll stick out like a sore thumb against that tight, robotic finish. Build your layers slowly. Apply several thin coats rather than one thick one, allowing enough dry time between them so you don't trap solvent. If you're dealing with a larger repair on the hood, keep your passes light to mimic that factory "efficiency," or you'll find yourself sanding for a week to get it flush.
