Your Paint Color Profile

L5455EY - Black (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)

The Look

This is the workhorse finish of the 2016 fleet. Because it was used across all models that year, it represents the standard for professional durability on the highway. It is a deep, honest black that gives your truck a crisp, authoritative profile. It does not rely on glitter or gimmicks; instead, it provides a clean, uniform surface that emphasizes the massive scale of the cab and chassis. Since your vehicle has likely spent years battling road debris and sun, this particular shade is designed to restore that factory-fresh authority.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it provides a deep, mirror-like reflection without the distraction of metallic flakes. While this creates a rich look, solid black is notoriously unforgiving because it highlights every ripple and grain of dust. The catalyzed nature of the paint means it undergoes a chemical reaction to become much harder and more resistant to diesel and grime than a standard touch-up. Because there is no flake to hide your work, the quality of the finish depends entirely on a smooth application. If you apply it too heavily, the deep pigment may sag, but if you apply it correctly, it will cure into a shell that stands up to the rigors of the road.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Freightliner Black (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L5455EY), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least a full minute to ensure the catalyst and pigment are fully integrated. You will find your paint code on the vehicle specification plate, which is usually located on the driver's side door jamb or mounted to the firewall under the hood. Test the color on the included card to confirm it matches your existing paint before you begin work on the truck. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure the flow remains even across the surface. Allow plenty of drying time between your layers to prevent the paint from staying soft, which ensures the final finish is as tough as the metal underneath it.

ensuring the right match

Find your Freightliner paint code

The Freightliner color code is obtained by contacting Freightliner to see if they can determine the color code. If there is no color code, the alternative is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.

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.
