DBC2439 - Hunter Green Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are dealing with a classic, workhorse color that bridged the gap between mid-century utility and the deep jewel-toned craze of the 1990s. While PPG Paints originally produced this for commercial use, it became a staple for anyone wanting a finish that looked professional and authoritative. Since your vehicle has likely spent years out in the elements, the original paint has probably shifted toward a slightly flatter or lighter tone than what is in your hand. This is a deep, honest forest shade that favors function over flash.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearl pigments to worry about, you do not have to fret over the "flop" or how the light hits the paint from different angles. However, solid dark colors like this are notoriously unforgiving. Every fingerprint, piece of dust, or stray hair will stand out against the dark background. The benefit is a deep, uniform pool of color that is much easier to blend than a shimmering metallic, provided your surface is clean and free of oils.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Hunter Green (check for code DBC2439), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the heavy green pigments are fully mixed. You can typically find your paint code on a metal plate riveted to the firewall in the engine compartment or on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb. Test the color on the included card to see how well it matches the current state of your aged finish. When you are ready, work in the shade and keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up. Allow for plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or trapping solvents.
