Chrysler Concorde Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chrysler really went for it with the Concorde, offering a massive 43-color palette that sounds more like a jewelry store inventory than a car catalog. From the moody Deep Amethyst Pearl to the high-energy Inferno Red Pearl Tricoat and the sophisticated Dark Slate Pearl, these cars were designed to catch the sun. Whether you are driving a Shark Blue Pearl cruiser or a Cinnamon Glaze Metallic beauty, Chrysler wasn't afraid to lean into the "Pearl" and "Metallic" life, giving these full-sized sedans a lot of visual depth.
What to Watch For
Now, let's be honest: Chrysler's clear coat from this era was a bit like a summer romance-it didn't always want to stick around. You'll likely see some "sunburn" (fading) on the roof or hood, and the clear coat has a tendency to peel away from the base color once it gets a chip. Finding your paint code is your first mission, but don't look in the driver's door jamb first; the Concorde likes to hide its secrets. Pop the hood and check the passenger side firewall, the inner fender wall, or even the top of the radiator support bar. Look for a three-digit code (it usually starts with a "P" for Paint).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Concorde colors are pearls or tricoats, those tiny mica flakes inside your touch-up bottle love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-yes, time it-to wake up the sparkles so they actually end up on your car and not stuck in the tube. If you're dealing with a spot where the clear coat is flaking, use your fingernail or a plastic scraper to gently flick away any loose bits before you start. When applying, remember: three whisper-thin layers are always better than one giant blob. It requires a little patience to build the color up, but it's the secret to making that 2oz bottle work like magic.
