COLOR CODE935105 - Medium BlueFleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the quintessential uniform of the American work week. It is a dependable, honest blue that remained a staple in the PPG catalog for over thirty years because it provided a professional, uniform look for entire rows of service trucks and delivery vans. Since your vehicle was likely built to work between 1966 and 2000, you are dealing with a finish designed for durability and easy maintenance rather than showing off at a gallery. It has a classic, industrial character that feels right at home on a heavy-duty fender or a steel door.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearls hidden in the mix, you do not have to worry about the paint looking darker from different angles or creating "mottling" stripes. However, solid blues are very honest. They show surface scratches easily and are prone to UV fading over decades of life outdoors. If your original paint has a chalky or dull appearance from years in the sun, the fresh pigment may look slightly deeper than the weathered area until the rest of the panel is cleaned and polished.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Medium Blue (check for code 935105), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to properly distribute the heavy blue pigments. You can typically find your paint identification sticker on the driver-side door jamb or printed on a service tag inside the glove box. Test the color on the included card first to see how it sits against your current finish. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure the paint flows evenly without pooling or sagging. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and allow the full drying time to pass before you consider adding a second layer or a clear coat.
