Where to find Chrysler color code

How to Find Your Chrysler's Color Code

Chrysler paint codes can be difficult to find. In the good old days, they were on top of the radiator support, often hidden under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc., with the first letter as a confusing "Year Code." BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code.

Your Paint Color Profile

Neutral Dark Gray (cladding)

The Look

This isn't a color that demands a spotlight; it is the workhorse that frames your vehicle. Primarily used for the lower body panels and bumpers on legends like the Town and Country and the early Pacifica, this shade was Chrysler's way of adding a rugged, two-tone sophistication to the family fleet. It is a deep, functional tone designed to ground the car's aesthetic while shielding the body from the visual mess of the road. Because it lived on the lower half of your Cirrus for years, it has likely taken the brunt of every curb and rock chip, but its dark, understated nature makes it one of the most forgiving colors to restore.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a solid finish, which is a massive win for your repair project. Unlike high-sparkle metallics that require a perfect flake orientation to look right, this color relies on pure pigment depth. The benefit is a much simpler application process, but you need to be mindful of the texture. Since this was often applied to plastic cladding with a matte or satin character, the biggest risk is applying it too thick and ending up with a glossy "wet" look that doesn't match the original finish. It is a sturdy, high-hiding paint, but it requires a patient hand to keep the appearance consistent with the rest of the trim.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Neutral Dark Gray (cladding) (check for code HS5), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Heavy gray pigments love to settle at the bottom, and a quick shake isn't enough to wake them up. You can usually find your code on the driver's side door jamb or the radiator support bar under the hood. To ensure the color is a dead ringer for your aging trim, test the color on the included card before you move to the vehicle. When you are ready to work in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Use light, even layers and give it plenty of drying time between passes to build a finish that looks like it came straight from the factory.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Chrysler Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Chrysler is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Chrysler color code 'HS5' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
