Your Paint Color Profile

N0006E - Platinum (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)

The Look

Back in the late nineties, this wasn't just another color on the assembly line. While most big rigs were rolling out in standard workaday shades, your truck was treated to a finish that lived up to its name. This color has that classic, heavy-duty metallic silver personality that defines the premium builds of the 1998-1999 era. It provides a sophisticated, industrial sheen that hides road grime much better than a standard white, making it a favorite for owner-operators who wanted their rig to look sharp even after a thousand miles of interstate salt and dust.

Technical Details

Since you are working with a metallic finish, you have to be mindful of how those tiny flakes land. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallics will "pool" or sink, creating dark, blotchy patches that look like shadows on the metal. On the flip side, if you are too stingy with the application, the surface can feel rough and look dull. Because your truck has likely been exposed to years of UV rays and weather, the existing finish might have shifted slightly. The goal is to achieve a uniform "lay" of the flake so the light hits the repair the same way it hits the original panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Freightliner Platinum (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code N0006E on the driver's side door jamb or the firewall spec plate), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes. Since this is a catalyzed formula, the internal hardener must be fully integrated to ensure the paint cures with the correct gloss and chemical resistance. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves before moving to the truck. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to avoid the dreaded "tiger stripes" that happen when metallic flakes aren't distributed evenly. Give the area plenty of drying time between layers to let the solvents escape, ensuring a rock-hard finish that can handle the rigors of the road.

How to Find Your Freightliner's Color 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.
