Your Paint Color Profile

MB40888 - Black Mist Metallic

The Look

This is a working black with a professional edge. It arrived at the turn of the millennium for a short run on utility vehicles and fleet trucks. The metallic flakes provide a depth that helps hide road debris and minor scratches better than a flat black. Since your vehicle has been on the road since the year 2000, this color serves as a bridge between utility and style. It looks like a deep charcoal from a distance, but the silver character shows through when the light hits the panels.

Technical Details

This finish relies on metallic flakes for its depth. These tiny particles must lay flat to match your existing paint. If the paint goes on too heavy, the flakes sink and create dark spots or shadows. You want a steady hand to ensure the light reflects the same way across the whole repair. Because this is a basecoat, you will need a clear top layer to protect the color and bring out the intended shine.

Best Practices

Check the driver's door jamb or the glove box for your identification tag. Before you spray or dab Fleet Black Mist Metallic (check for code MB40888), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing is vital for the metallic flakes to stay in suspension. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle. Keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool. Give the paint drying time between coats so the finish sets the right way.

Find your Fleet paint code

Fleet is the catch all for individual color codes not associated with any brand or make, full of PPG, Axalta, Sherwin Williams, etc. If only a color code for something to be painted is available, the site can be checked; if it cannot be found, they can be notified and they will see if they can make the paint.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
