Chrysler Bright Silver Metallic (PS2) Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you own a 300 Series or an Aspen from the late 2000s, you are looking at the color that defined the Chrysler lineup for a generation. It turned the Crossfire into a sleek silver bullet and gave the European 300 Series a high-end, executive presence. This is a high-visibility finish that reflects light aggressively, making your car look clean even when it has a layer of road dust on it. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over fifteen years, this silver has likely held its character well, though it remains sensitive to how you apply the fresh layer.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny aluminum flakes. The benefit is a bright, deep glow, but the risk is mottling. If the flakes are not distributed evenly, you get dark spots or tiger stripes that look like shadows on the panel. Because your car has lived outside for a long time, the original finish has probably aged. Matching the orientation of these flakes is the most important part of the job to ensure the repair does not look like a gray smudge in direct sunlight.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver or white sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Bright Silver Metallic (check for code PS2), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get those metal flakes suspended. To avoid dark spots, keep the container moving and apply light layers rather than one heavy coat. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. Once the drying time has passed in the garage or shade, evaluate the repair in natural light to ensure the silver pop matches the rest of the panel.
