2007 Peterbilt Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2007 Peterbilt Vibe

2007 was a year of "out with the old, in with the new" at Peterbilt. The legendary 379 was officially handing the baton to the aerodynamic 389, and for a minute there, it felt like the end of an era. But while the hoods got longer and the headlights got fancier, the color palette stayed true to the road. We've narrowed our database down to the two colors that truly defined the 2007 fleet: Medium Red and Rich Blue. These weren't just colors; they were the uniform of the American highway. If you weren't driving a truck that looked like a deep bruise or a fire engine, you weren't really hauling.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2007, the "Robot Efficiency" movement was in full swing at the factory. Those robots are precise-too precise. They spray exactly enough paint to cover the metal and not a drop more. While it looks like glass on the showroom floor, it means your clear coat is likely thinner than a diner napkin. If you're seeing "filiform corrosion"-that nasty spider-webbing under the paint-or tiny chips on the leading edges of your fenders, it's because the factory layers didn't have the "meat" to stand up to ten years of road grit.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2007 rig, you have to fight the urge to "blob" the paint. Because the factory finish is so lean, a heavy-handed repair will stand out like a sore thumb. Since we only offer these colors in Catalyzed Spray Cans, you've got the professional advantage. That catalyst creates a chemical bond that hardens into a shell far tougher than standard air-dry paint. Build your layers slowly. Mist it on, let it tack, and repeat. You want to match the factory's "lean but hard" profile rather than trying to fill a canyon with one thick coat. Don't rush it; let the chemistry do the heavy lifting.
