Chrysler 200 Series Touch Up Paint (30 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chrysler really leaned into the "choices" department for the 200 Series, offering a staggering 30 different colors over its run. They gave us everything from the deep, moody Blackberry Pearl to the industrial-chic Maximum Steel Metallic. It's a bit like a "50 Shades of Grey" convention when you look at the lineup-between Billet Metallic, Mineral Gray, and Granite Crystal, Chrysler clearly believes there is a perfect shade of silver for every personality. Whether you're driving a high-sparkle Bright White or a sophisticated Deep Auburn Pearl, your car was designed to catch the light in its own specific way.

What to Watch For

Before you get to work, let's talk about where that paint likes to act up. On the Chrysler 200, the front edge of the hood is a known "hot spot" for tiny bubbles, and you might notice some peeling where the rear bumper meets the body-the fit is so snug that they sometimes rub each other the wrong way. To get the perfect match, you'll need your code. Swing open the driver's side door and look at the sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-digit code (a mix of letters and numbers) sitting right next to the "PNT:" label. If it's not there, check under the hood on the passenger-side strut tower, though the door jamb is the most common hiding spot for this model.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors-like Velvet Red Pearl or Phantom Black-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, they require patience to get right. Before you touch that chip, shake your paint pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds. You'll hear that little metal ball rattling inside; that's your best friend, mixing up all those pearls so they don't just sit at the bottom. When you apply it, think "thin layers." If you try to fill a deep chip with one big blob, it'll dry looking like a tiny mountain. Dab a small amount in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and add another layer if you need to. You're building a repair, not frosting a cake!
