Chrysler 300/300C Series Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chrysler 300 series has always been about making a statement, and Chrysler gave us 28 different ways to say it. From the creamy, retro-cool of Cool Vanilla to the deep, sparkling depth of Brilliant Black Pearl and the crisp Bright Silver Metallic, they really went for a "luxury on a budget" vibe. Whether you're driving a 300C that thinks it's a Bentley or a base model that's seen a few too many car washes, the colors are undeniably bold. They even dabbled in some matte finishes like Jet Black (matt), proving that when it came to the 300, Chrysler wasn't afraid of a little drama.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need to talk about "The Chrysler Shrug." These cars are famous for a bit of "orange peel" from the factory, and the clear coat tends to be on the softer side, meaning it picks up swirl marks if you even look at it wrong. Keep a close eye on the front fascia where the bumper meets the fender; paint has a habit of wanting to bail out (peeling) in those tight seams. To find your specific color code, check the driver's side door jamb first. If it's not there, Chrysler liked to play a bit of an Easter egg hunt-pop the hood and check the center or passenger side of the firewall. Look for a three-digit code starting with "P" (like PS2 or PX8) next to the "PNT" label.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Deep Water Blue Pearl-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, your biggest hurdle isn't the paint; it's physics. Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes (play a song, get a workout in) to wake up the pigment. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Chrysler's soft clear coat responds best to "thin is in." Apply one light layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. It requires a little more patience, but it prevents that "globby" look that screams "I did this in my driveway."
