Chrysler Deep Auburn Pearl (EP/KEP) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color gives the Chrysler 200 a sophisticated, earthy personality that separates it from the usual sea of silver and black sedans. It is a dark, moody shade that looks like a deep espresso in the shade but reveals a warm, copper-red glow when the sun hits it directly. Since your 200 has likely been on the road for over a decade, the original finish might have picked up some road rash or light fading. This paint is designed to match that specific level of depth, restoring the upscale look your car had when it first left the lot.

Technical Details

Deep Auburn is a pearl finish, which means it contains tiny mica particles that reflect light to create a distinct color shift. These particles are sensitive to how they are applied. If the paint goes on too thick in one spot, the pearl can flop, making the repair look darker or cloudier than the rest of the panel. Pearl finishes are excellent for hiding very small surface scratches, but for larger chips, you must be careful to avoid layering it so heavily that the metallic sparkle loses its even texture.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Deep Auburn Pearl (check for code EP/KEP), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your code by checking the sticker on your driver's side door jamb; look for the letters PNT followed by the three-digit code. To ensure the mica particles are properly mixed, test the color on the included card before you touch the car. When applying in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the pearl from pooling. Let each layer have plenty of drying time so the finish sets properly without sagging or trapping air.
