Your Paint Color Profile

L5205EB - Gold (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)

The Look

This gold made a brief, bold appearance in 2014 across the Freightliner lineup, turning standard work trucks into high-end heavy-duty machines. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over a decade, this color has likely matured alongside the miles. It carries a professional, premium weight that stands out against the endless sea of fleet white and grey. While gold is excellent at hiding light road dust and fine surface scratches, it demands a clean surface to truly show off its depth. If the finish gets too dull, the metallic character loses its punch and starts to look more like a flat tan.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the appearance of the color relies entirely on how those tiny flakes settle during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallics will bunch up and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. This is why the way you handle the container is more important than the paint itself. Because this specific version of Freightliner Gold (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L5205EB) uses a catalyst, you are working with a professional-grade hardener. Once you activate the container, the chemistry starts a countdown, and you have a limited window to finish your work before the paint hardens inside.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the identification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb or on the passenger side door frame. Before you begin, you must shake the container vigorously for at least two full minutes to ensure the metallic particles and the catalyst are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to make sure the shade matches your specific truck before you touch the actual bodywork. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, even passes to prevent the gold from pooling. Watch your drying time between layers; if the paint is still tacky, you risk dragging the metallic flakes and ruining the uniform glow.

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.
