Eagle Tungstene Metallic (608) Touch Up Paint

The Look

The Eagle Medallion is a rare sight on the road today, but it carried a sophisticated palette for its short production run. This Tungstene shade is a deep, moody charcoal that gives the boxy, late-eighties lines of your car a more modern, executive feel. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over three decades, the original finish has likely weathered a bit, but this specific grey remains a classic choice that hides road grime much better than the lighter silvers of that era.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is filled with tiny flakes designed to catch and reflect light. This adds great depth to the panels, but it requires a steady hand. If you apply the paint too heavily or unevenly, those metallic flakes can settle in clumps, leading to a blotchy look or dark stripes known as mottling. To keep the finish looking uniform across the repair area, you must maintain a consistent flow and a steady spray distance from the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Eagle Tungstene Metallic (check for code 608), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this paint code stamped on a metal plate located on the radiator support under the hood or tucked into the driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic flakes are laying down. Work in your Garage or the Shade to keep the surface cool, and remember to keep the container moving at all times. Using several thin layers with proper drying time between them will always yield a better result than one thick coat.
