COLOR CODEB9142EY - Medium Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)Freightliner Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential professional blue. It is a workhorse color designed for the 2023 fleet, appearing across all models from the Cascadia to the M2. It is a no-nonsense, medium-value shade that looks clean and authoritative under the sun but stays humble enough to hide the light road dust from a long haul. Since your truck is likely a newer model, this color has not had decades to fade, which makes matching the original depth much easier than on older rigs.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there is no metallic flake or pearl to worry about. Solid colors are the most forgiving for repairs because you do not have to struggle with the orientation of flakes or blotchy patterns. However, medium blues like this can be prone to "mapping" if the repair area is not uniform, so ensure you cover your primer layers thoroughly. Before you spray or dab Freightliner Medium Blue (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code B9142EY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Because this is a catalyzed product, the internal hardener must be fully integrated to ensure the finish cures to its full chemical-resistant strength.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on a white or silver vehicle specification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb, though on some newer Cascadia models, it may be on the passenger side door frame. Before you begin the actual repair, test the color on the included card to confirm the match. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, even passes to avoid puddling. Since this paint contains its own hardener, pay close attention to the drying time listed on the label; once it starts to set, it will be much more durable than standard consumer-grade paints.
