DBC-BC 904803 - Apple Green Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade is about the job. For over thirty years, this green defined the look of professional fleets and industrial equipment across North America. Since your project involves a vehicle that has put in decades of hard work, you are dealing with a color designed for visibility and resilience. It is a bold green that tells a story of utility from 1966 to 2000. It doesn't ask for attention with sparkle or shimmer; it commands the road with a high-visibility presence that has survived the test of time in the PPG Paints catalog.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. Unlike metallic paints that use sparkle to mask imperfections, this pigment is flat and direct. It will highlight every ripple or sanding mark on your panel if your prep work is lazy. The benefit is a simple repair process. This paint is much easier to match and blend than a pearl or metallic because the color stays consistent from every angle. Solid colors can show texture if applied too thick, so focus on even layers to get a clean reflection.

Best Practices

Look for the identification tag inside the glove box or on the driver-side door pillar to verify your color match. Before you spray or dab Fleet Apple Green (check for code DBC-BC 904803), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy pigments mix with the binders for a uniform shade. Test the color on the included card to check the match against your existing finish. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the surface enough drying time between coats so the paint can settle into a level film.
