Mako Blue (Imron 6000 Catalyzed Spray Only) (L4962H) Touch-Up Paint for Fleet

The Look

Fleet Mako Blue is the definitive professional blue. Because it served as a primary basecoat for commercial trucks and heavy-duty vehicles for over thirty years, it carries a weight of industrial history. It is a deep, confident shade that avoids the lightness of a sky blue but stays well clear of the near-black territory of a navy. On the road, this color communicates reliability. Since your vehicle was likely built to work, this blue is designed to look clean even when it has been through a long day. It does not demand attention with sparkle; it earns it with a rich, uniform presence that holds its own under the sun.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your job significantly easier. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling at the bottom of the container or creating tiger stripes if your technique is slightly off. The challenge with a deep solid like this is the clarity of the surface. Because there is no metallic shimmer to hide imperfections, any dust or grit trapped in the wet paint will stand out. Before you spray or dab Fleet Mako Blue (Imron 6000 Catalyzed Spray Only) (check for code L4962H), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy blue pigments are fully suspended so you get a consistent, opaque repair that matches the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

You will typically find your paint code on a sticker or metal plate located on the driver-side door jamb, though on some work vans or trucks, it may be tucked inside the glove box. Since the original paint on your vehicle has likely faced years of UV exposure and weather, the color may have shifted slightly over time. Test the color on the included card before you apply it to the body to confirm the match. When you begin, work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure an even coat and avoid drips. Give the repair plenty of drying time between layers to build up the depth of the blue without creating a thick, soft edge.
