L0990EB - Dark Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) Freightliner Touch Up Paint

The Look

This deep blue belongs to the backbone of the shipping industry. Appearing primarily in 2016 across the entire Freightliner lineup, this color was likely born from a specific fleet requirement or a short-run industrial order. It provides a heavy-duty, uniform appearance that commands the lane without being flashy. Since your truck has probably spent the last several years hauling heavy loads through intense sun and road salt, the existing finish might have lost some of its initial depth, but this pigment is designed to restore that professional identity.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a major advantage for a DIY repair. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark splotches in the finish. However, solid dark blues are notoriously honest. They reveal every swirl mark and every grain of dust the moment they dry. While the application is more straightforward than a pearl or metallic, you must be meticulous with your surface cleaning because this dark shade will act like a mirror for any imperfections left underneath.

Best Practices

You will typically find your color information on the service data plate, which is usually located on the driver's side door jamb or the rear wall of the cab. Before you spray or dab Freightliner Dark Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L0990EB), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the catalyst and pigments are perfectly integrated. Test the color on the included card before you touch the truck to ensure the shade aligns with the current state of your paint. When applying the color, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent heavy buildup and allow for a consistent drying time between light layers.
