COLOR CODEFDGH935579 - Silver Stone (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)Fleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the workhorse of the commercial world. Since 1966, this specific silver has coated the flanks of service trucks, heavy equipment, and even high-end aluminum boats. It is a utilitarian shade designed for the long haul, meant to look professional even when the vehicle is covered in road grime or dust. Because PPG Paints engineered this for industrial durability, it offers a rugged, metallic grit rather than a delicate jewelry-like shimmer. It is a forgiving color that ages gracefully, hiding small surface imperfections and road wear better than almost any other shade in the fleet catalog.

Technical Details

Since this is a metallic finish, you are working with millions of tiny aluminum flakes suspended in the pigment. These flakes are heavy and have a natural tendency to settle or clump together, which can cause dark stripes or a patchy look known as mottling. If your container sits still for even a minute, the color will change as the metal bits sink. Achieving a uniform look requires a steady hand and a commitment to light, even layers. If you apply it too heavily in one pass, the metallic particles will "swim" in the wet paint, resulting in an uneven, cloudy appearance that is difficult to fix without starting over.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code plate on the driver's side door jamb or tucked inside the glove box on a service identification sticker. Before you spray or dab Fleet Silver Stone (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code FDGH935579), you need to shake it for at least two minutes to wake up those metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your existing finish before you touch the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving in long, fluid passes to prevent the silver from pooling. Allow plenty of drying time in a cool garage or under the shade between coats. This patience ensures the metal flakes lock into place, giving you the durable, professional finish the fleet line is known for.
