1984 Chrysler Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The 1984 Chrysler Vibe

Welcome to 1984-the year Lee Iacocca officially saved the company and put every suburban family into the original "Van." Whether you were rocking a K-car or the brand-new Voyager, Chrysler wasn't shy about the color palette. With 14 distinct shades in our database, it's clear they were caught between the wood-paneled past and a high-tech future. You've got those deep, earth-tone survivors like Sable Brown and Saddle Brown Metallic alongside the "new-age" flashes of Glacier Blue Metallic and Radiant Silver Metallic. It was a time when a Chrysler looked just as good in front of a disco as it did in a grocery store parking lot.

Paint Health Check

If you're looking at original 1984 paint today, you're looking at the heart of the Single Stage Era. Back then, we didn't always have a clear coat to hide the sins of the sun. These paints-especially the solids like Black and Nightwatch Blue-are prone to "The Chalk." That's the classic oxidation where the pigment literally dies on the surface, leaving a dry, white film that makes your car look like it's been parked on the moon. If that Crimson Red looks more like a dusty pink, it's not just dirty; it's starving for oils. In this era, the rule was simple: it needs wax or it dies.

Restoration Tip

Before you go dabbing Charcoal Pearl Metallic or Mink Brown Pearl Metallic onto a chip, you have to address the "dead" paint first. You can't just paint over oxidation; it's like trying to tape a heavy box with dusty Scotch tape. Use a light polishing compound to "level" the surface and bring the color back to life. Once you see the true 1984 shine peeking through, then-and only then-apply your touch-up. And listen, kid: once it's fixed, keep a coat of high-quality carnauba wax on it. These older single-stage finishes are tough, but they're thirsty. Keep 'em sealed or watch 'em fade.
