46220 - Green Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a workhorse shade designed for a vehicle that actually has a job to do. Since your PPG Paints vehicle was likely part of a professional lineup back in 2000, this green has probably spent more time at job sites than at car shows. It is a deep, functional forest green that does a respectable job of hiding road grime and dust. It isn't meant to be flashy or distracting; it is meant to look uniform and serious. After twenty years on the road, the original finish might look a little tired, but a fresh layer usually brings back that disciplined, factory-floor authority.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a solid finish, which makes your life much easier in the garage. Unlike metallic or pearl paints, this color relies on pure pigment density rather than tiny flakes of aluminum or mica. This means you do not have to worry about the paint looking blotchy or "tiger-striped" if your technique isn't perfect. The biggest challenge with a deep solid like this is ensuring full opacity. If you apply it too thin, the primer underneath might cast a shadow through the green. If you apply it too thick, you risk the paint sagging. Aim for a few medium layers rather than one heavy soak.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Green (check for code 46220), you need to shake it for at least a full minute to get those heavy pigments moving. You can usually find this code on a printed sticker located on the driver's door jamb or tucked inside the glovebox. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how well it matches the current state of your weathered paint. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between each layer so the finish sets hard and flat.
