Dodge Green (FQ/PFQ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Dodge hit a home run when they brought back this tactical, deep forest green for the Challenger and Charger. It manages to look both vintage and aggressive, which is a rare feat for a non-primary color. On the Durango, it gives the SUV a rugged, almost military-grade presence that stands out from the sea of grayscale commuters. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a few years, the original paint has likely survived well, as this darker shade handles sun exposure with more grace than bright reds or yellows.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning the paint is loaded with fine metal particles that give the surface its signature depth. These flakes are great for hiding small surface imperfections, but they require a steady hand during the repair. If the paint pools or goes on too thick in one spot, the metal will clump together. This creates a blotchy, uneven look known as mottling. To get a match that blends into the rest of the panel, you need to ensure those flakes lay down flat and spread out across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually listed right after the letters PNT. Before you spray or dab Dodge Green (check for code FQ/PFQ), you must shake the container for a full minute to get the metallic flakes off the bottom and into the mix. Test the color on the included card to see how the metal settles before you touch your car. Whether you are working in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow. Allow plenty of drying time between each light layer to build up the color without making the finish look muddy.
