2022 Dodge Touch Up Paint (60 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Dodge Vibe

Welcome to 2022, the year Dodge decided to treat its assembly line like an all-you-can-eat buffet of nostalgia and horsepower. We're talking about the "Last Call" era for the heavy hitters-the Challenger and Charger-alongside the workhorse Ram Series and the Durango. With 60 colors in our database for this year alone, Dodge wasn't just building cars; they were painting a middle finger to the quiet, beige future. You had the High-Impact legends like Plum Crazy Pearl and Go Man Go sitting right next to modern, battleship-chic shades like Ceramic Gray and Anvil. And let's not ignore the sense of humor in the paint booth; if you're rocking Garbage Can, you've got a story to tell at the stoplight.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from behind the spray mask: we are firmly in the Thin Paint Era. While those 2022 finishes look deep enough to swim in under the showroom LEDs, the reality is that factory robots have become dangerously efficient. They apply the color and clear coat with the precision of a laser, which usually means the finish is thinner than a diner steak. If you're driving a Ram or a Durango, you've probably noticed that a stray pebble or even a particularly aggressive June bug can leave a crater. The clear coat is hard and glossy, but because it's applied so sparingly, it lacks the "meat" to absorb impacts. On the ProMaster vans, check those door jambs-factory coverage can be so light there that you'll see the primer ghosting through before the odometer hits five digits.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip on a 2022, you've got to respect the "Robot Efficiency." Do not-I repeat, do not-just drop a massive blob of paint into the chip and call it a day. Because the factory finish is so thin, a heavy-handed repair will stand out like a sore thumb. Instead, build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tipped applicator to dab a tiny amount of color into the center of the chip, let it flash off, and repeat until the level is just below the surrounding clear. If you're working with one of the pearls like Frost Bite or Hellraisin, those metallic flakes need room to lay down flat to catch the light correctly. Finish it with a thin dab of clear, let it cure, and then level it. You're not just painting; you're performing surgery on a masterpiece that was applied by a machine with a quota.
