Chrysler Silver Steel Metallic (A4/DA4) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the shade that gave the Chrysler 300C its boardroom-ready presence and kept the PT Cruiser looking modern through the late 2000s. It sits in that sweet spot between a classic bright silver and a heavy charcoal. Because your car has likely spent over a decade in the sun, the original finish on your Sebring or 300 might have lightened slightly compared to when it left the factory. This color is a champion at hiding road salt and light dust, making it one of the most practical choices Chrysler offered between 2006 and 2010.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with fine flakes that catch the light to create depth. Metallic paints are notoriously picky because those tiny flakes are heavy; if they do not stay suspended in the liquid, they will sink to the bottom. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and create dark patches or blotches. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Silver Steel Metallic (check for code A4/DA4), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the silver particles are evenly distributed throughout the mix.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb sticker or occasionally on the firewall under the hood. Since this is a metallic, your technique determines the final shade. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metal flakes from pooling in one area. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to see how the flakes settle. Once the color layer is dry, you must apply a clear coat. Without that top layer, the metallic particles will look dull and can eventually oxidize. Always work in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the drying time remains consistent across the entire repair area.
