Your Paint Color Profile

918273 - Yellow (Catalyzed Spray Can Only)

The Look

This is the blue-collar king of the interstate. It is a bold, high-visibility yellow that does not care about being subtle or sophisticated. It is designed for work. Whether you are driving a Cascadia or an M2, this color identifies your truck as part of a fleet that actually gets things done. Since your Freightliner has likely spent thousands of miles under the harsh sun, you might notice the original finish has lost some of its punch. This replacement paint is designed to restore that industrial vibrance, but keep in mind that yellow is a high-energy color that naturally draws the eye to any imperfections.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a relief because you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling or looking striped. The challenge with yellow is its transparency. Yellow pigments are notoriously thin compared to blacks or reds. If you try to cover a dark primer or a deep scratch in a single heavy pass, the repair will look muddy or dull. You will get the best results by applying several thin, light layers to build up the depth of the color. Because this is a catalyzed product, it is much tougher than standard retail paint, providing a chemical-resistant finish that can handle the grime and road salt your truck faces every day.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the identification plate located on the passenger side door jamb or inside the driver's side door frame. Before you spray or dab Freightliner Yellow (Catalyzed Spray Can Only) (check for code 918273), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Shaking is vital for yellow because the heavy pigments tend to settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the pigment is fully mixed. When you start, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent spray distance to avoid runs. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers so the finish stays hard and durable once it cures in your garage or in the shade.

ensuring the right match

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.
