Dodge Silver Metallic (A-4 (1970)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

In a year defined by loud, high-impact colors that screamed for attention, this finish was the choice for the driver who preferred a sharp, tailored appearance. While the 1970 lineup had plenty of neon oranges and purples, this silver offered a clean, industrial aesthetic that emphasized the heavy body lines of your Dodge. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over half a century, the original pigment has likely weathered into a more muted, classic character. It is a refined look that manages to stay humble while still catching the light on every curve of the metal.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create depth. Because it is a 1970 formulation, the flakes are finer than what you find on modern trucks, giving it a smooth, silk-like glow rather than a glittery sparkle. The danger with any metallic is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark, uneven splotches. If the paint goes on too heavy or too wet, those flakes will sink and ruin the uniform look of the panel. You want a consistent, even distribution to keep the silver looking crisp.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Silver Metallic (check for code A-4 (1970)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend those metallic particles. You will find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender inside the engine compartment. To get the best result, work in your garage or the shade to avoid direct sunlight heating the metal. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the pigment from pooling. Always test the color on the included card first to see how well it aligns with your specific level of paint fade. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish sets properly without sagging.
