B9825K - Champagne Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Fleet Champagne is a veteran of the road that stayed in production for over thirty years. This color was designed for reliability and professional utility rather than show-stopping flash. It is a warm, understated beige that excels at hiding road grime and dust, making it a favorite for long-haul vehicles and work trucks. Since your vehicle has likely seen plenty of miles, this shade provides a clean, refreshed appearance that respects the original factory finish of your basecoat model.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny reflective flakes that give the surface its depth. The challenge with any metallic is preventing mottling or dark spots. These blotches happen when the flakes cluster together in a heavy layer of wet paint. If the application is too thick, the finish will look uneven and muddy. You want the flakes to lay flat and dispersed to capture the light correctly across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification label on the driver-side door jamb or tucked inside the glove box. Before you apply Fleet Champagne (code B9825K), you must shake the container for a full sixty seconds to lift the metallic particles off the bottom. To get the best results, keep the container moving at all times to ensure a steady flow. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to verify the shade. Work in a protected garage or a patch of shade, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to avoid sags.
