COLOR CODE4282 - Mocha Frost (Deltron 4282 SHUS52939)Fleet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the workhorse of the PPG catalog, defining the professional look of commercial trucks and Ford vans for over thirty years. It is a sophisticated, warm taupe that sits right between a silver and a brown, giving your vehicle a clean appearance even when it is covered in road dust. Since your vehicle has been on the road for quite some time, you might notice the original finish has matured into a slightly flatter tone than what comes out of a fresh container.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a metallic finish, which means the final look depends entirely on how the flakes settle. If you apply the paint too thick, those tiny particles will sink and create a dark, muddy spot that stands out for the wrong reasons. On the other hand, if your spray distance is too far, the finish can end up looking dry or textured. The goal is a balanced flow that lets the metallic bits lay flat so they catch the light just like the factory intended.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleet Mocha Frost (Deltron 4282 SHUS52939) (check for code 4282), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallics off the bottom. You will typically find your code on a sticker inside the driver side door jamb or tucked away in the glove box. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for the flow before you move to the actual repair. Keep the container moving in steady passes and respect the drying time between layers to ensure the metallic flakes lock into place without mottling.
