COLOR CODE915482 - Jet Black (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)Freightliner Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive shade of the American highway. Since your Freightliner has likely been hauling cargo for years, it wears this deep, non-metallic black as its uniform. It is a no-nonsense, high-gloss finish that looks authoritative when clean but will highlight every spec of road salt and dust the moment you leave the wash. Because it has been the fleet standard for two decades, matching it is usually straightforward, though years of sun exposure on the road might mean your original paint has aged slightly differently than a fresh application.

Technical Details

As a solid color, this black lacks any metallic or pearl particles to hide imperfections. It acts like a dark mirror, which means any unevenness in how you apply it will be obvious. The major benefit here is the catalyzed format, which provides a much harder and more chemical-resistant finish than a standard aerosol. This is vital for a truck that faces constant road debris and harsh weather. However, a catalyzed product requires consistent movement in your garage or shade to prevent the paint from pooling and creating runs.

Best Practices

To confirm you have the right match, look for the data plate on the driver-side door jamb or the specification sticker inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab Freightliner Jet Black (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code 915482), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes to ensure the catalyst and pigment are fully mixed. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific cab before you start the repair. When you begin, keep the container moving at a steady pace and maintain a consistent spray distance to ensure the flow creates an even, glass-like surface. If you are using a pen for a small chip, apply the paint in thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time between each pass.
