Where to find Eagle color code

How to Find Your Eagle's Color Code

Where to find the Eagle paint color code: Determined directly by Eagle. When a color code is not present, the designated reference is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. Practically, the source for the code is Eagle; lacking a code, identification proceeds by the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) formula number. This outlines that Eagle handles color codes, while PPG or Dupont (Axalta) formulas apply if a code is absent.

Your Paint Color Profile

Dover Gray Metallic

The Look

Your Eagle Premier belongs to a unique chapter of automotive history, and this color was the uniform of the late-eighties executive. Dover Gray is a reserved, professional shade that was meant to give the wedge-shaped Premier a sophisticated edge against European imports. It is a workhorse color that does a great job of hiding road grime and dust. However, because your car has been on the road for over thirty years, you should expect the original finish to have changed slightly due to sun exposure. This means your repair might look a bit darker or more vibrant than the aged panels around it.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains small flakes that catch the light to create depth. Metallic paints require a bit more attention than solid colors. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. To get the best result, you want the flakes to lay flat and even. This is a basecoat color, so it will look matte when it first dries. You will need a clear coat to bring back the gloss and protect the repair from the elements.

Best Practices

On an Eagle, you can usually find your paint code on a metal plate attached to the passenger side inner fender well or the radiator support. Before you spray or dab Eagle Dover Gray Metallic (check for code HS3/CC), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the metallic flakes are properly mixed so the color matches the card. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car. When you are ready to work in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving to ensure the flow is even. Apply several light layers rather than one thick one, and allow enough drying time between each pass so the paint sets correctly without sagging.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Eagle Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Eagle is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Eagle color code 'HS3/CC' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
