COLOR CODE748544K - Cashmere SilverFleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the workhorse of the silver family. Since it was active from 1966 through 2000, it became the standard for utility vehicles that needed to look professional without demanding constant car washes. Because your vehicle has likely seen years of service, you will find that this shade is a master at hiding road grime and light surface scratches. It provides a clean, industrial aesthetic that feels more grounded than the bright, flashy silvers found on modern sports cars. It carries a subtle gray undertone that keeps it looking neutral under various lighting conditions, making it a reliable choice for large panels.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Fleet Cashmere Silver (check for code 748544K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a metallic finish, which means tiny flakes are suspended in the liquid. If you do not mix it thoroughly, the color will look dull or patchy. Metallics are prone to mottling, those dark streaks or "tiger stripes" that happen when the flakes settle unevenly. You want a consistent, uniform look, so keeping the flakes properly suspended is the only way to ensure the repair disappears into the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

You will usually find the identification plate on the driver's door jamb or tucked inside the glove box. When you start the job, always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your current paint. For the best results, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the metallic flakes from clustering in one spot. If you are using a pen, use light, even strokes rather than a heavy hand. Build the color in thin layers, allowing plenty of drying time between each application. This patience prevents the paint from sagging and ensures the metallic particles lay flat for a smooth, factory-style finish.
