Dodge Copperhead Pearl (LB/KLB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You aren't driving a generic gray sedan or a standard family hauler. Whether this paint is on your aggressive Charger or your reliable Journey, it was designed to make the vehicle look more expensive than the sticker price suggested. This color has a deep, burnt-orange glow that defines the high-impact era of Mopar. Since your Avenger or Caravan has been on the road for at least a decade, the original finish has likely weathered a fair amount of sun and road debris. This specific shade relies on depth to look its best, so your goal is to restore that rich, earthy radiance without making the repair look like a flat, dark smudge.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which means it contains translucent mica flakes that reflect light differently depending on your viewing angle. The benefit is a finish that looks like liquid metal under the afternoon sun. The risk is that these flakes are heavy and love to clump together. If you apply the paint too thick in one pass, the mica will settle unevenly, creating dark spots or a mottled appearance that ruins the factory effect. You want to aim for light, consistent coverage to ensure the flakes lay flat and catch the light evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Copperhead Pearl (check for code LB/KLB on the ID sticker inside your driver's side door jamb), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The metallic and pearl particles in this mix are prone to settling at the bottom, and if you don't mix them thoroughly, the color will come out looking too dark or muddy. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before you touch the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in the center of the chip or scratch. If you are working in your garage or a patch of shade, allow plenty of drying time between layers so the pearl can set properly without shifting.
