Chrysler Island Teal S/G Pearl (PJ/SPJ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the definitive signature of the late-90s luxury minivan era. If you are fixing up a Town and Country from this period, you are dealing with a shade that was designed to look deep, expensive, and sophisticated under suburban streetlights. It is a complex blue-green that shifts depending on the angle of the sun. Because your Chrysler has likely spent over twenty years facing the elements, the original finish might have shifted slightly toward a flatter teal, but the depth of the pigment usually holds up well once you clean away the road film.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains translucent mica flakes rather than just standard metallic glitter. These flakes are what give the paint its "glow," but they also make the repair a bit more technical. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those mica particles will clump together and create dark splotches known as mottling. It is better to build the color in several light passes rather than trying to hide the damage in a single coat. This ensures the flakes lay flat and catch the light evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Island Teal S/G Pearl (check for code PJ/SPJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The heavy pearl additives tend to sink to the bottom of the container, and if they aren't fully mixed, the color will look too dark or muddy. You can usually find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or on a metal plate located on the radiator support bar under the hood. Always test the color on the included card to see how the pearl reacts to your specific lighting. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at a steady pace and work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying before it has a chance to level out.
