XGA - Everest White Pearl Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

You have a color that was designed to elevate a standard work vehicle into something more professional. While most white paints from 2000 are flat and utilitarian, this basecoat finish has a depth that catches the light. Because your vehicle has been on the road for over two decades, the paint has likely weathered some storms. Pearl whites like this are great at hiding fine scratches, but they will show road tar and grime, so make sure the surface is clean before you start.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, not a solid white. It contains translucent flakes that give the paint its signature glow. The risk with this type of paint is mottling, which looks like dark shadows across the panel. This happens if the flakes do not lay down flat. Since it is a 2000 color, the original finish has likely yellowed from the sun. This means your touch-up might look brighter than the rest of the car, but you can minimize the difference by focusing on thin, even layers.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Everest White Pearl (check for code XGA), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The pearl particles sink to the bottom and will not look right unless they are mixed back into the liquid. Check the driver side door jamb or the glove box to find your code. When you start in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Test the color on the included card to see how it matches the current paint on your vehicle. Control your spray distance to keep the flow even. Allow for drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays crisp.
