L2225 EB - Bright Red (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)Freightliner Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential high-visibility fleet red. Since it was featured across all 2015 models, your truck likely spent its early years representing a professional brand that wanted to be seen from a mile away. It is a bold, primary red that does not hide in the shadows. Because your rig has been on the road for nearly a decade, keep in mind that sun exposure can take a toll on these heavy pigments. While this red was designed to be durable, your existing paint might have mellowed slightly compared to the fresh liquid in your container.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your repair work much simpler than dealing with complex metallics or pearls. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling at odd angles or creating dark spots in your finish. The primary challenge with a solid red is the depth of the color. It requires a consistent thickness to reach full opacity. Because this is a catalyzed product, it is designed to chemically harden into a tough, chemical-resistant shell that mimics a professional factory finish right from your garage or shade.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the silver vehicle ID plate, typically located on the driver's side door jamb or the interior of the passenger door. Before you apply your Freightliner Bright Red (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (verify you have code L2225 EB), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the hardener and pigments are fully integrated. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving in steady passes to maintain an even flow and prevent heavy buildup. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the truck to ensure the shade matches your current weathered finish. Allow for ample drying time between layers to build the color depth safely.
