Dodge Black Grey Metallic (P06) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Sprinter was built for the long haul, and this color reflects that workhorse DNA. Originally a Mercedes-Benz shade adapted for the Dodge line, it is a professional, stealthy tone that bridges the gap between a deep charcoal and a true black. It was a favorite for executive shuttles and high-end fleet conversions because it hides road grime better than a flat black while still looking sharp under city lights. Since your van has likely seen its share of highway miles, you might notice the original finish has flattened slightly over time, so focus on getting a good clean surface before you begin.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny suspended flakes that give the paint its characteristic depth. These flakes are your best friend for a factory look, but they can be temperamental. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metal particles will bunch up and create dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. To avoid these "tiger stripes," you need to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the repair area. Because this is such a dark grey, any unevenness in the metallic density will show up clearly once you move the car out of the garage and into the sun.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Black Grey Metallic (check for code P06), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallics; those flakes settle at the bottom of the container and won't move unless you force them to. You can find your paint code on a sticker located on the driver's seat pedestal or inside the driver's door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic behaves. When you are ready, keep the container moving in steady passes to ensure the finish stays uniform. If you are using a pen or brush, use light, layering strokes rather than one thick glob, which helps the flakes lay flat.
