Chrysler Imperial Touch Up Paint (74 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chrysler didn't just paint the Imperial; they dressed it for a gala. With 74 recorded colors in the archives, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the boardroom-ready Formal Black to the "look-at-me" 1960s vibes of Turbine Bronze Poly and the surprisingly bold Dusty Pink Poly. Whether yours is draped in Aegean Blue Poly or Imperial Navaho Beige, it's clear the designers wanted these cars to own the road.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that cap, we need to talk about where your Imperial shows its age. On older models, the paint tends to fade gracefully, but on later versions with a clear coat, keep a close eye on the horizontal surfaces like the roof and trunk-the clear coat can sometimes get brittle and start to flake off like a bad sunburn.

To find your specific color match, you'll need the paint code. Don't just look in the door jamb like a modern car; on an Imperial, that code is often hiding on the radiator support bar under the hood or stamped onto a metal "fender tag" on the driver-side inner fender or firewall. It's usually a three-character code (like "PX8" or "L5") sitting right next to the "PNT" label.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Imperial colors are "Poly" (which is vintage-speak for metallic), those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles.

When applying, don't try to fill a chip in one big, heavy go. Use the tip of your brush or pen to dab a tiny, thin layer into the center of the chip and let it dry. If it still looks like a little crater, come back in twenty minutes and add one more thin layer. This keeps the paint from sagging and ensures those metallic flakes lay down flat and pretty, just like the factory intended.
