Chrysler Wild Orchid Pearl II (MK/RMK) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the mid-90s perfectly. Whether it is on a Sebring Convertible or another model from that era, this shade is loud and unapologetic. It shifts between a deep violet and a bright magenta depending on how the sun hits the curves of the car. Since your Chrysler has likely seen plenty of sun over the last few decades, the original finish might be a shade lighter than when it first rolled off the line, so you should expect the new paint to look a bit richer.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which gives the metal its depth. Pearl paints are more complex than solids because they rely on tiny mica flakes to reflect light. The risk here is mottling; if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will clump together and create dark, muddy patches. The benefit of a pearl is that it hides small surface imperfections much better than a flat purple ever could, provided you keep your layers thin.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint information on the driver's side door jamb or on a metal tag located on the radiator support under the hood. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Wild Orchid Pearl II (check for code MK/RMK), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to get those heavy pearl particles off the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes settle. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the pigment from sagging, and give it plenty of drying time between coats so the pearl effect stays crisp rather than getting buried in the wet paint.
