Dodge Sublime Green Effect (PFB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you are driving an Avenger, Charger, Magnum, or Challenger in this shade, you are not trying to keep a low profile. This is a High Impact heritage color that traces its roots back to the muscle car peak of 1970. It is a loud, electric green that glows with a heavy yellow undertone. Whether you are patching up a small nick on a door edge or refreshing a mirror cap, you are working with one of the most recognizable colors in automotive history. It carries a certain swagger, but that high visibility means your repair needs to be precise, as every imperfection will stand out against such a bright backdrop.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard flat green. The depth comes from tiny mica flakes suspended in the paint that reflect light at different angles. This makes the color look alive, but it presents a challenge for touch-ups. If the paint is applied too thick in one spot, the pearl particles will clump together and create a dark, muddy look often called a bruise. To avoid this, you must apply the paint in thin, even layers. Pearl finishes are notorious for looking like a different shade if they aren't mixed perfectly, so the way the light hits your repair depends entirely on how well those particles are distributed.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the manufacturer sticker inside the driver's side door jamb; look for the three-digit code following the PNT prefix. Before you spray or dab Dodge Sublime Green Effect (check for code PFB), you need to shake it for at least sixty seconds to wake up those heavy pearl pigments that settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is right before you move to the car. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic and pearl flakes lay down flat. Let each layer sit for the recommended drying time, and avoid the temptation to glob it on to cover a deep scratch in one pass. Consistent, light coats will keep that neon glow uniform across the panel.
