COLOR CODE29221PP - Arizona Beige MetallicFleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This isn't a showroom luxury shade; it is a professional workhorse. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road or the job site for decades, you know that this beige is the king of hiding dust and road grime. It is a grounded, earthy tone that gave countless utility trucks and commercial fleets a clean, uniform look from 1966 through the turn of the millennium. Because your project has likely spent years under the sun, the original finish might look a bit more matte today than it did when it first left the factory.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny aluminum flakes to catch the light. These flakes are much heavier than the beige pigment and will sink to the bottom of your container if you aren't careful. If you don't get them mixed perfectly, your repair might end up looking like a flat, muddy tan instead of a shimmering metallic. You also want to watch out for mottling, those dark spots or stripes that happen when the flakes cluster together rather than laying flat across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Arizona Beige Metallic (check for code 29221PP), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic particles. You can typically find your code on a metal plate in the driver's door jamb or on a sticker inside the glove box. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake distribution looks right before you touch up your vehicle. To avoid dark clusters of metallic, keep the container moving across the surface at a steady pace. If you are working in a cool garage or under deep shade, give it a little extra drying time between coats to let the metallic settle properly.
