64023 - Light Khaki Metallic Fleet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a color that works as hard as the vehicle it covers. Popular across three decades of commercial fleets, it is a sophisticated beige that refuses to look dirty. Because it was a staple for PPG Paints between 1966 and 2000, you will see it on utility vans and delivery trucks that still look professional decades later. It has a warm, earthy tone that carries a subtle shimmer, giving a standard workhorse a bit of hidden depth. Since your vehicle has likely seen years of service, this shade is excellent for blending in with the character of a seasoned finish.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means your paint is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light. The biggest risk with a metallic is mottling, which happens when the flakes cluster together and make the color look blotchy or striped. This usually happens if you hold the container too close or apply the paint too thick in one spot. To get a uniform look, you must ensure those flakes are perfectly distributed before they hit the surface. If they sink or clump, the finish will lose that even, golden glow.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a sticker inside the door jamb or tucked into the glove box. Before you spray or dab Fleet Light Khaki Metallic (check for code 64023), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic particles. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle under your specific flow. Keep the container moving at a steady pace and allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or looking uneven.
