Dodge Go Mango Vit C Irid (K-2 (1970)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessence of the 1970 muscle car era. You are working with one of the most famous High Impact colors in automotive history, a shade that defines the unapologetic attitude of the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Whether it sits on a classic B-body or an E-body, this orange doesn't just blend into traffic-it demands the spotlight. Since your car has been on the road for over half a century, the original finish has likely developed a unique character from sun exposure, so you are not just fixing a chip; you are preserving a legend.

Technical Details

Despite the bold appearance, this finish can be tricky. The "Irid" designation in the name suggests an iridescent or metallic quality that provides that extra High Impact pop. This means you must watch out for mottling, which shows up as uneven dark spots or stripes if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. This matters because the way the light hits those tiny particles determines if the repair looks like a professional fix or a distraction. Keeping your layers thin is the key to making sure the color transitions naturally across the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Go Mango Vit C Irid (check for code K-2 (1970)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag, which is typically located under the hood on the driver-side inner fender. Test the color on the included card to see how it compares to the current state of your paint. Because the orange pigment is heavy, keep the container moving as you apply to ensure the flow remains consistent. Work in the shade or a garage to avoid the paint drying too quickly, which can cause the finish to look rough or dull.
