Chrysler 300M Touch Up Paint (36 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chrysler wasn't shy when it came to the 300M. With 36 recorded colors, they really went for it. You'll see everything from the moody Deep Amethyst Pearl to the "look-at-me" Aztec Yellow Pri Metallic. Whether your car is dressed in the sophisticated Dark Slate Pearl or the vibrant Candy Apple Red Pearl Tricoat, Chrysler clearly wanted this car to stand out in a parking lot full of boring sedans. It's a palette that says "luxury," but with a side of "let's have some fun."

What to Watch For

Now, for the reality check: these cars are known to get a little "sunburnt." The clear coat on the hood and roof can sometimes decide it's done with its job and start to peel or fade. You might also notice a bit of bubbling around the door handles or trim edges. To make sure you're getting the right fix, you need your paint code. Chrysler liked to play hide-and-seek with these; check the driver's side door jamb first, but if it's not there, take a peek at the passenger side firewall or the radiator support under the hood. You're looking for a three-digit code (often starting with 'P') next to the "PNT" label.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many 300M colors are Pearls or Metallics, those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your paint pen or bottle for a solid two minutes-time yourself! You want to wake up those metallics so they match the rest of the car. When you're applying the paint to a chip, don't try to fill the whole hole at once. Think of it like building a layer cake; apply a tiny, thin dab, let it dry, and come back for another. If you're working with a Tricoat like Inferno Red, it requires patience to get the depth right, but several thin layers will always look better than one big glob.
