2021 Peterbilt Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2021 Peterbilt Vibe

2021 was a hell of a time to be a "Large Car" enthusiast. While the rest of the world was staring at computer screens, the owner-operators in 389s and the high-tech 579s were the only things keeping the lights on. It was a year of bold defiance, and our vault reflects that. We didn't waste time with a thousand shades of boring; we focused on the heavy hitters that actually turned heads at the truck stop-specifically the "Catalyzed Essentials" like Medium Red, Orange, and that legendary Plum Crazy. If you were driving one of these, you weren't just hauling freight; you were making a statement.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2021, those factory robots in Denton were programmed for "maximum efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying they used the bare minimum amount of paint required to cover the metal. These trucks look like a million bucks on the lot, but that factory finish is thinner than a diner's coffee. You'll find that stone chips don't just nick the surface-they go straight to the substrate, and the "robot efficiency" means the coverage on the edges of your hood and fenders is likely already showing signs of wear.

Restoration Tip

Since our 2021 kits are Catalyzed Spray Cans, you're getting the real-deal chemical hardening that these modern finishes require to survive the I-80. My advice? Build your layers slowly. Do not try to blob a deep chip in one shot. These modern factory paints are applied in whisper-thin coats, so if you go too heavy with the repair, it'll stand out like a sore thumb. Dust on a light coat, let the chemistry do its work, and repeat until the depth is right. You want it level, not lumpy.
