Your Paint Color Profile

942743 - Storm Gray Metallic (Catalyzed Spray Only)

The Look

This color is the backbone of the industrial world. From 1966 through 2000, PPG Paints used this shade to coat workhorses that spent their lives on the move. Since your vehicle has likely seen decades of sun and road salt, the original finish has likely shifted from its factory tone. This gray is not about flash; it is a functional choice that masks road grime and keeps your equipment looking orderly.

Technical Details

Because this is a metallic finish, the tiny flakes inside the mixture are your biggest challenge. If you apply the paint too heavily or unevenly, those flakes will bunch together in some areas and thin out in others. This creates a blotchy effect known as mottling. To get a uniform look, you must manage the flow so the metal particles lay flat and even across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Storm Gray Metallic (Catalyzed Spray Only) (check for code 942743), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. You will mostly find this code on a plate inside the driver's door jamb or tucked away in the glove box. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic particles settle. When you move to the project in your garage, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes do not settle or streak. Maintain a consistent spray distance and give each light layer enough drying time to set before you add the next one.

Find your Fleet paint code

Fleet is the catch all for individual color codes not associated with any brand or make, full of PPG, Axalta, Sherwin Williams, etc. If only a color code for something to be painted is available, the site can be checked; if it cannot be found, they can be notified and they will see if they can make the paint.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
