Chrysler LHS Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chrysler didn't just release a car with the LHS; they released a rolling jewelry box. With 28 recorded colors, they really leaned into the "Pearl" and "Metallic" craze of the late 90s and early 2000s. Whether you're rocking the regal Deep Amethyst Pearl, the flashy Drama Gold Metallic, or the deep Wildberry Pearl, Chrysler clearly wanted this car to shimmer from every angle. It's a sophisticated palette that says, "I have a leather interior and a very large trunk."
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbling with that touch-up brush, you need to find your "PNT" code. Check the driver's side door jamb first for a white or black sticker-the code is usually three characters long (like PW1 or PEL). If it's not there, Chrysler sometimes tucked it onto the radiator support bar under the hood, though you might have to wipe away some "vintage" engine grime to see it.
In terms of wear, keep a close eye on the horizontal surfaces. The clear coat on these models can get a bit tired on the hood and roof, leading to some flaking. You might also notice tiny bubbles forming around the door handles or the rocker panels near the wheels. If you catch these chips early, you'll stop that peeling in its tracks.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because the LHS relies heavily on pearl and metallic flakes for its look, those sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. **Shake your touch-up paint for a full two minutes**-long after you think you're done-to ensure the "Drama" in your Drama Gold actually makes it onto the car. When applying, use the "less is more" approach. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a "Tricoat" color like Inferno Red, it requires a little extra patience: apply the base color first, let it dry completely, and then add your pearl topcoat to bring back that factory depth.
