Your Paint Color Profile

L0045 - Brown (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)

The Look

This color isn't trying to win a beauty contest; it's here to work. Since your vehicle likely hit the pavement between 1966 and 2000, you are dealing with a classic PPG utility shade. This is a deep, functional brown designed for commercial endurance rather than show-floor sparkle. It hides road dust and highway grime better than almost anything else in the catalog, which is why it stayed in production for over three decades.

Technical Details

Because this is a solid finish, you don't have to worry about metallic flakes or pearl shifts. The benefit is an easier match that won't look blotchy under the sun. However, the risk with a heavy solid like this is the muddy effect. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, it loses its crisp edge and can start to sag. You want even, steady layers to maintain that tough, industrial profile.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Brown (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L0045), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this code on a sticker inside your glove box or printed on the driver's side door pillar. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered exterior. When you move to the vehicle, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to build a finish that lasts as long as the original metal.

ensuring the right match

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.
