Chrysler Van Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chrysler didn't just make family haulers; they made rolling palettes. With 45 recorded colors, they really leaned into the "living room on wheels" aesthetic. We've seen everything from the deep, coffee-toned Mink Brown Pearl Metallic to the icy Glacier Blue Metallic and the regal Garnet Red Pearl Metallic. Whether your van is dressed in a "sensible beige" or a "midnight jewel tone," Chrysler's designers clearly wanted to make sure you could find your specific shade of suburban glory in a crowded grocery store parking lot.
What to Watch For
Now, the honest truth: Chrysler clear coats can be a little sensitive. It's very common to see the paint on the roof, hood, or the tops of the sliding doors start to look "chalky" or begin flaking off in small sheets. If you spot a tiny bubble near the door handles or along the bottom rocker panels, jump on it immediately with your touch-up kit before the weather turns it into a bigger project. To find your specific color match, look for a three-character code (like "PS2" or "PW7") on a sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. If it's not there, pop the hood-some models hide the paint ID on a metal plate near the radiator support or the passenger-side firewall.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic," those beautiful sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like heavy sand. Before you start, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up that metallic flake. When applying, avoid the "one big glob" method. Instead, use the tip of the brush to dab tiny, thin layers into the chip. If the color looks a bit dark at first, don't panic; metallic paints often "lighten up" and find their true personality once they fully dry.
