COLOR CODEDAR 82040 - Yellowish Green (Single Stage)Fleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the industrial spirit of 1966. It is a functional, high-visibility shade that was never meant for the showroom floor but rather for the hard-working fleet vehicles of the mid-sixties. Since your vehicle has spent decades in the sun, this green provides a distinct, period-correct look that stands out in any garage. It is a utilitarian choice that values visibility and presence over modern trends.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. You do not have to manage metallic flakes or worry about pearl orientation, which makes your job much simpler. Solid colors are honest and direct. While they lack the sparkle of a metallic, they offer a deep, consistent tone that is easier to blend. The risk with a solid color is that it hides nothing. Any texture or bump on the metal will show through the finish, so your prep work is the most important part of the process.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification plate on the driver side door pillar or attached to the firewall under the hood. Before you spray or dab Fleet Yellowish Green (Single Stage) (check for code DAR 82040), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the heavy green pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your existing paint. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains even across the surface. Work in a garage or the shade to allow for a consistent drying time between your layers.
