Chrysler 300/300C Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chrysler really leaned into the "urban luxury" vibe with the 300 series, giving us 14 recorded colors that range from the boardroom-ready Bright Silver Metallic to the surprisingly bold Satin Jade Pearl. They even went the extra mile with specific wheel finishes like Sparkle Silver and Blade Silver Metallic-because nothing ruins that "boss" aesthetic like a curbed rim. Whether you're driving the deep Midnight Blue Pearl or the uniquely named Butane Blue, these colors were designed to look expensive, even if we're fixing them on a budget in the driveway.
What to Watch For
To find your specific color code, open the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-character code next to the "PNT" or "PAINT" heading (something like PXR for the black or PS2 for the silver). Now, for the reality check: these big, beautiful sedans are known for "bubbling" along the leading edges of the hood and trunk, and if you have one of the silver shades, you might notice the clear coat getting a little tired on the roof. If you see a tiny bubble starting, catch it now before it decides to invite its friends over.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors-like Black Lava Red and Magnesium Pearl-rely on heavy pearl and metallic flakes, your biggest enemy is gravity. If the bottle sits too long, all the "magic" sinks to the bottom. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes (play a song, get a workout in) to ensure those sparkles are actually in the paint and not stuck at the bottom of the vial. When applying, think "thin and patient." Two or three light dabs will look much better than one big, thick glob that stands out like a sore thumb.
