Dodge Dark Titanium Pearl (DT/FDT) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color arrived during a transitional era for Mopar, bridging the gap between old-school muscle and modern refinement. Whether you are fixing a small nick on a Challenger or a scuff on a Caravan, you are working with a shade that acts like a chameleon. In the shade, it looks like a deep charcoal, but direct sunlight pulls out a sophisticated shimmer that gives the body lines a heavy, machined feel. Because your car has been on the road since the 2009 or 2010 model years, the original finish has likely weathered slightly, making it a "heavy" color that holds its depth well even as it ages.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which is both a blessing and a curse for a quick repair in your garage. The mica flakes inside the paint create that signature depth, but they are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look like a flat, muddy grey instead of a metallic match. Because it is a darker tone, any unevenness in how those flakes lay down will show up as a dark spot or a streak. This mottling happens when the paint is applied too thick in one spot, causing the metallic particles to cluster together rather than spreading out evenly.

Best Practices

You can find your identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb; look for the PNT code to verify your match. Before you spray or dab Dodge Dark Titanium Pearl (check for code DT/FDT), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to wake up those settled pearls. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right before touching the car. If you are using a can, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to ensure the shimmer stays uniform. If you are using a pen or brush, use light, thin layers rather than one thick coat. Give the paint plenty of drying time to set before you decide if you need a second pass.
