Dodge Alfa White (240) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are looking at a color that marks a unique chapter in American muscle history. Since your Hornet is essentially an Italian athlete wearing a Dodge tracksuit, this shade is a direct transplant from across the Atlantic. It is a bright, uncompromising white that gives the car a modern, clinical edge. It looks sharp on the road, but because it is such a pure shade, it will highlight every speck of tar and road grime your tires kick up. Keeping this finish clean is a part-time job, but the reward is a car that looks like it just rolled off a Mediterranean assembly line.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearl effects hiding inside the paint. From a repair standpoint, this is great news because you do not have to worry about the "flop" or the way light hits metallic particles. However, solid whites can be surprisingly transparent. If you are covering a dark primer or a deep scratch, the white pigment might not hide the damage in a single pass. You will need to commit to several thin, even layers to build up enough density for a perfect match. If you rush it and apply the paint too thick, you risk creating a heavy edge that will be visible even after it dries.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for the vehicle information sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Dodge Alfa White (check for code 240), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least a full minute to get the pigments moving. Whether you are using a pen or a can, always test the color on the included card first to see how the shade sits once it is dry. Work in a cool, covered garage out of direct sunlight to prevent the paint from drying too quickly. Keep the container moving as you apply the paint to ensure an even flow and maintain a consistent spray distance to avoid any heavy build-up. Allow for plenty of drying time between each thin coat to ensure the best adhesion.
