Dodge Caliber Touch Up Paint (33 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Dodge didn't just play it safe with the Caliber; they brought the entire neon-lit palette to the party. With 33 recorded colors, you could find yourself behind the wheel of a Mango Tango Pearl, a Solar Yellow, or the undeniably cool Surf Blue Pearl. Whether you're driving the stealthy Blackberry Pearl or the classic Bright Silver Metallic, it's clear that Chrysler's designers were feeling bold. They really went for it, giving this hatchback a "main character" energy that most economy cars simply can't match.

What to Watch For

Before you grab your paint pen, pop open the driver's side door. Look for a sticker on the jamb (the B-pillar) with a three-digit code-that's your secret handshake to getting the right match. Now, the Caliber has a bit of a "thin-skinned" reputation. It's common to see the clear coat get a little tired on the roof or the hood, and you might notice some bubbling on the very front edge of the hood where road salt and moisture like to hang out. Don't worry, it's nothing you can't handle. Catching those little spots early is the difference between a quick touch-up and a much bigger project later.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since your Caliber likely sports one of those flashy Pearl or Metallic finishes, your success depends on the "The Great Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes love to hide at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen or brush for a solid 60 seconds-yes, time it-to wake up the sparkle. When you're filling a chip, remember: you are a surgeon, not a house painter. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the chip is deep, it requires patience-apply two thin layers rather than one giant, goopy blob. Your Caliber will look much happier without "paint freckles."
