Dodge Gold Tan Metallic (9299 (1968)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential earth tone for a 1968 Dodge truck. It reflects a time when work vehicles started to borrow style from their passenger car cousins. Since your truck has likely spent years enduring the sun and the elements, this color serves as a bridge between rugged utility and classic sixties style. It is a warm, desert-inspired shade that hides dust well while offering a refined shimmer that pops under the sun. It turns a standard D-Series into a vintage showpiece without losing its tough character.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic. The tiny particles inside the paint are what give it that characteristic depth, but they also require careful handling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the gold flakes will settle unevenly, leading to dark patches or visible stripes known as mottling. To get a factory-quality finish in your garage or shade, you must focus on thin, consistent layers. This allows the metallic flakes to lay flat and catch the light uniformly across the panel.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on the data plate located on the driver's side door pillar or inside the glove box door. Before you spray or dab Dodge Gold Tan Metallic (check for code 9299 (1968)), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to fully distribute the metallic pigments. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before moving to the vehicle. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent puddling, and always allow for sufficient drying time between coats to ensure the finish remains crisp and level.
