Dodge Silver Metallic (AF/LAF) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your ProMaster City wears this shade for one reason: utility. Silver is the ultimate camouflage for the road grime and dust that come with a long workday. It lacks the deep shimmer of a luxury sedan, but it provides a clean, professional appearance that stays much cooler under the summer sun than a darker finish. Since your van has likely spent its life racking up miles and braving parking lots, this color is a forgiving choice for a repair because it blends into the surrounding panels without drawing the eye to the fix.

Technical Details

This finish is a classic metallic, meaning it is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that give the paint its characteristic sheen. The risk with any silver is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark, muddy patches. This happens when you apply the paint too heavily in a single pass. If the paint stays wet for too long, those flakes sink and settle unevenly. To keep the finish looking crisp, you need to apply several light coats rather than one heavy one. This ensures the metallic particles stand up and reflect light the way the factory intended.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Silver Metallic (check for code AF/LAF), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find that code on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or occasionally on the underside of the hood. Once you have the area prepped in your garage or a patch of shade, shake the container again to ensure the silver flakes are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific van before you touch the bodywork. When you start, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent spray distance to prevent the metallic from pooling. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to keep the color bright and uniform.
