L0328HL - Dark Concord Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Freightliner or Peterbilt was built to handle the long haul, and this color reflects that professional grit. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for over two decades, this navy shade has weathered its share of sun and salt. It is a deep, authoritative blue that looks clean even when the truck is a few hundred miles past its last wash. Because this was a 2000-era basecoat, it depends on a solid clearcoat to bring out the depth, so do not expect the color to look correct until it has received its final top layer.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means you are dealing with more than just pigment. You are managing the orientation of tiny metal flakes. If you apply the paint too heavily or move too slowly, the flakes will cluster and create a blotchy, mottled appearance. This makes the repair look darker than the surrounding paint because the flakes are not reflecting light evenly. The goal is to keep the flow consistent so the flakes settle in a uniform layer, catching the light the same way the factory finish did twenty years ago.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the specification decal located on the driver-side door jamb or sometimes tucked inside the glove box. Before you apply Fleet Dark Concord Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (confirm your code is L0328HL), you must shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes to mix the catalyst and the heavy metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to ensure the match is close to your current paint, which may have faded over time. When you are ready to work in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent pooling and allow for plenty of drying time between each thin layer.
