Dodge Grayish White Tri-Coat Pearl (W29/PMW) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Dodge Stealth is a high-tech relic of the early nineties, and this specific color was designed to highlight its aggressive, cab-forward proportions. Unlike the flat, bright whites found on modern economy cars, this shade carries a sophisticated gray undertone. It gives the car a heavy, mechanical presence that feels more like brushed aluminum than plastic. Because your car was a product of the Japanese bubble economy, the finish is deep and complex, making the Stealth look like a concept car that accidentally escaped into the real world.

Technical Details

This is a pearl tri-coat, which is the most challenging type of finish to replicate. It relies on a translucent mid-layer of pearl particles to create depth. The problem you will face is density. If you apply too much of the pearl mid-coat, the repair area will look darker or more yellow than the rest of the panel. If you go too thin, it will look like a flat gray patch. You aren't just matching a color; you are matching the thickness of the original factory layers. It is an opinionated finish that demands your full attention to get the reflection right.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Grayish White Tri-Coat Pearl (check for code W29/PMW), you need to find your official match on the driver-side door jamb or the firewall behind the engine. Because the pearl particles are heavy and settle quickly, you must shake the container for at least two minutes to get a consistent mix. Test the color on the included card first to see how many layers of pearl you need to reach the right depth. While applying, keep the container moving in steady strokes to prevent the pearl from pooling in one spot. Always allow for extra drying time between layers to ensure the finish doesn't shift as it sets in the shade of your garage.
