COLOR CODEB9251F - Medium Camel MetallicFleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Fleet Medium Camel Metallic is a seasoned pro. This color survived thirty-four years of industrial use for a reason. It is a warm, golden beige that bridges the gap between desert sand and mid-century luxury. Because it was designed for workhorses, it is incredibly forgiving. This shade hides a week of road dust and light grime better than almost any other color from that era. If your vehicle has carried this look since the seventies or eighties, you are maintaining a finish that was built for the long haul.

Technical Details

You are working with a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that provide its characteristic glow. These flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look thin and uneven. Metallic paints are also prone to mottling, often called tiger stripes, where the flakes cluster together in dark patches. This happens if the paint goes on too heavy in one spot, so maintaining a consistent flow is your top priority to keep the finish looking uniform.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Medium Camel Metallic (check for code B9251F), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the metallic flakes are fully suspended and ready to lay flat. You can typically find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box or on the driver side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to make sure the pigment matches your specific level of weathering. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving in steady, even passes. If you linger in one spot, the metallics will puddle and ruin the effect. Allow for plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color properly.
