COLOR CODEH8821 - Purple (Catalyzed Spray Only)Fleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the color of the logistics revolution. For over thirty years, this deep, authoritative shade lived on the side of every Federal-Express delivery vehicle, cutting through morning fog and highway grime. It is a workhorse purple that looks professional and hides the dust of three thousand miles better than almost any other dark shade. Since your vehicle has been on the move for quite some time, this paint offers a durable way to restore that classic industrial strength. It is bold, recognizable, and carries the weight of a brand that redefined how the world moves.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it relies on pure, deep pigment rather than metallic flakes to make its statement. Solid colors are generally more forgiving to match on aged surfaces, but they can be unforgiving if your surface has deep scratches or uneven texture. Before you spray or dab Fleet Purple (Catalyzed Spray Only) (check for code H8821), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the hardeners and pigments are fully integrated. Because this is a catalyzed product, it creates a chemical bond that is much tougher than standard retail paints, making it resistant to the fuels and cleaners common in a hard-working garage.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a silver or white sticker located inside the driver-side door jamb or occasionally on a plate under the hood. When you are ready to begin, find a cool spot in the shade and away from the wind. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current finish before touching the vehicle. Keep the container moving in steady, even strokes to avoid heavy build-up in one spot. Since this paint is designed for durability, let it have a long drying time between layers to ensure the chemical bond sets correctly.
