Dodge Stone White (Hard top color) (SW1) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is not your average sedan white. Reserved for the hard top of the 1998 Viper, this color carries a sense of mechanical purpose. It is a crisp, bright, and bold solid finish designed to contrast against the aggressive body colors of a late-nineties supercar. Since your car has been on the road for over twenty-five years, this white has faced plenty of sun and wind. You should expect that original paint may have shifted in tone compared to a fresh batch.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it lacks the metallic flakes or pearls found in modern paints. The benefit is that you do not have to worry about the paint looking striped if your technique is off. The trade-off is that solid white is a harsh judge of your preparation work. Any dirt or sanding marks will show through the final finish. Before you spray or dab Dodge Stone White (Hard top color) (check for code SW1), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy white pigments are fully suspended.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver side door jamb or on the radiator support under the hood. To get the best result, always test the color on the included card before you touch the car. If you are using a spray, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to avoid puddles. For those using a pen or brush, apply the paint in thin layers rather than one thick glob. If you are working in a garage or under some shade, make sure the surface is cool to the touch. Once the color is down, give it plenty of drying time before you move on to the clear coat.
