Your Paint Color Profile

B-390 - Champaign Gold Tricoat

The Look

This color is a heavy hitter in the world of commercial and professional vehicles. Because it was a staple from 1966 through 2000, you are likely looking at a finish that has seen its fair share of miles. As a gold tricoat, it offers a level of depth that a standard metallic simply cannot reach. While many gold paints from this era can look flat or dated, this specific tone has a warm, glowing quality that makes it feel more like a premium upgrade than a utility choice. It was designed to look professional under the sun of a job site while maintaining a high-end feel for the Basecoat models that carried it.

Technical Details

The "Tricoat" in the name is the most important thing for you to understand. This is a pearl finish, meaning the color comes from three distinct layers: a solid ground coat, a translucent mid-layer filled with pearl or mica, and a clear topcoat. If you are dabbing a chip, you are working with a complex recipe. The pearl particles like to sink to the bottom of the container, so if you do not mix them thoroughly, your repair will look like a dull yellow smudge instead of a rich gold. Because this is a metallic pearl, there is a real risk of mottling-where the gold looks blotchy or striped. This happens if the paint pools in one spot, so keeping the container moving is the only way to ensure the flakes lay down flat.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Champaign Gold Tricoat (check for code B-390), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those pearl pigments. You will usually find your paint code plate on the driver's side door jamb or inside the glove box, though on some older trucks, it might be on the underside of the hood. Before applying anything to your car, test the color on the included card to see how the gold builds up. Tricoats are sensitive to thickness; more layers of the mid-coat will make the gold look darker and richer, while fewer layers will keep it light and champagne-toned. Keep a consistent spray distance to avoid "tiger stripes" in the metallic grain.

ensuring the right match

Find your Fleet paint code

Fleet is the catch all for individual color codes not associated with any brand or make, full of PPG, Axalta, Sherwin Williams, etc. If only a color code for something to be painted is available, the site can be checked; if it cannot be found, they can be notified and they will see if they can make the paint.

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.
