L0180EB - Maroon (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) Freightliner Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a heavyweight, professional maroon that belongs on a vehicle built for the long haul. Since your truck has been on the road since 2017, this color has likely faced its share of highway debris and harsh weather. It is a deep, authoritative shade that avoids the flashiness of a bright red, focusing instead on a clean and uniform appearance that hides road grime well. Because it was applied to all models that year, you are maintaining a consistent part of the Freightliner fleet identity every time you repair a chip.

Technical Details

This finish is a solid, which means you do not have to worry about metallic flakes or pearl particles settling unevenly. Solid colors are generally more forgiving for repairs because the color remains the same regardless of the angle of your repair. However, dark maroons can show heavy application or darker spots if the pigment is not distributed well. Before you spray or dab Freightliner Maroon (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code L0180EB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the chemistry is perfectly mixed. Because this is a catalyzed product, the paint will cure to a much harder finish than standard touch-up options, providing better protection against future road wear.

Best Practices

Check for your paint code on a label inside the passenger side door jamb or on the underside of the sun visor. When you are ready to begin, find a spot in the garage or a patch of shade to keep the sun from heating up the metal. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for the flow and how the paint exits the nozzle or brush. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging. Apply thin layers and give each one plenty of drying time to ensure the deep maroon builds up a smooth, level surface that matches the rest of your rig.
