Chrysler Atomic Silver Metallic (PSE) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Chrysler Atomic Silver Metallic is a relatively short-lived but impactful color that arrived just as the 300 Series and the Pacifica were leaning into a more premium, high-tech aesthetic. Whether you are driving the flagship sedan or the family Voyager, this shade gives the vehicle a crisp, industrial edge. It was only available for a single model year, which makes your car stand out among the seas of older, flatter greys on the road. It handles the dust of daily driving quite well, but because the color is so bright, any deep scratches will catch the light and show up clearly against the metallic background.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create depth and reflection. Because of this, you have to be careful about how those flakes settle during your repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metal particles will bunch up and create dark patches or stripes. Since your vehicle is still very new, the original factory paint hasn't had much time to fade from sun exposure, so a fresh application should blend well as long as you keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Atomic Silver Metallic (check for code PSE), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. You can find your paint code on the manufacturing sticker located inside the driver-side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card before touching the car to see how the metallic particles react to your hand speed. When you move to the actual repair, work in a garage or the shade and apply several thin layers rather than one thick coat. This prevents the silver from looking muddy and helps the new finish match the factory sheen. Give each layer enough drying time so the paint stays exactly where you put it.
