Your Paint Color Profile

14953 - Lt Blue

The Look

This color is a time capsule from the mid-sixties commercial era. While most passenger cars of the time were chasing deep metallics, 1966 PPG Paints offered this specific shade for utility and service vehicles that needed to look professional without being flashy. It is a clean, honest blue that defined the look of delivery trucks and trailers across the country. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road since the Johnson administration, the original finish has almost certainly shifted toward a flatter, chalkier tone. A fresh application of this pigment will likely appear more vibrant than the aged paint surrounding it, so focus your work on blending the edges into the existing bodywork.

Technical Details

This is a true solid finish, meaning it contains no metallic flakes or pearls to complicate the application. Solid colors are a double-edged sword for a DIY project. On one hand, you do not have to worry about the orientation of metal particles or "tiger stripes" appearing in your work. On the other hand, solid blues like this are notorious for showing every spec of dust or road grime. Since there is no metallic sparkle to hide imperfections, your surface prep must be immaculate. Any high or low spots in the primer will show through the final coat as a shadow, so take the time to ensure the area is level before you start.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Lt Blue (check for code 14953), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on the identification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb or tucked away on the back of the glovebox door. Before you commit to the vehicle, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your expectations. If you are using a can, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid pooling. If you are using a pen or brush, apply the paint in thin layers rather than one heavy glob. This prevents the blue from sagging and keeps the drying time consistent across the repair.

How to Find Your Fleet's Color 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.

How do I find my vehicle's paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver's door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Fleet Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Fleet is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Fleet color code '14953' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3-5 business days. Delivery takes 2-14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (1/2 oz) - Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) - Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can - Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) - Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it's just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there's a color match issue, we'll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
