L0762EB - Bright Red (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) Freightliner Touch Up Paint

The Look

This red is the definition of a workhorse. It is a loud, high-visibility shade designed to make a massive truck impossible to miss on a rainy highway or a crowded job site. Since this color was used across all models in 2013, your truck has likely spent a lot of time in the sun, which can cause solid reds like this to lose their original punch. When you apply this fresh pigment, you will notice it has a deep, saturated weight that brings back the authority your Freightliner had the day it rolled off the line.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about. While that makes for an easier color match, solid colors are less forgiving when it comes to surface preparation because there is nothing to hide your work. Because you are using Freightliner Bright Red (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L0762EB), you are working with a professional-grade product that includes a hardener. This catalyst makes the finish much tougher against diesel spills and road salt than a standard retail can, but it also means the paint will begin to set once activated.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or the inside of the door itself. Before you start the repair in your garage or the shade, shake the container for a full two minutes to ensure the catalyst and the red pigment are perfectly blended. Always test the color on the included card to confirm the match before touching your truck. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the red from pooling or sagging. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to allow the hardener to create a durable, glossy shell that can stand up to the road.
