Chrysler Ivy Green Poly (GG-1 (1960)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your car carries a shade from a pivotal moment in automotive history. This was the year Chrysler moved to unibody construction, and this deep, earth-toned green was the perfect fit for the sleek, futuristic lines of the 1960 lineup. Whether it is on a Windsor or a New Yorker, this color brings a heavy dose of mid-century sophistication. It is not a loud or aggressive color, but rather a mature, dark forest hue that looks substantial and expensive under the sun.

Technical Details

Because this is a "Poly" finish, it contains fine metallic flakes that give the paint its depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look too dark or muddy. Metallics also carry a risk of mottling, which looks like dark streaks or "tiger stripes." This happens when the flakes clump together during application. To avoid this, you must maintain a steady flow and keep the container moving to ensure the metal particles lay down in a uniform pattern across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Ivy Green Poly (check for code GG-1 (1960)), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those dormant metallic flakes. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal data plate, usually located on the driver side inner fender or the firewall under the hood. Since your vehicle has been on the road for decades, the original finish has likely shifted due to sun exposure. Always test the color on the included card first to see how it compares to your current finish. Apply your layers in thin, even passes, and allow enough drying time between them so the metallic particles can set properly without shifting.
