Dodge Magnum Touch Up Paint (44 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Dodge Magnum didn't just bring the station wagon back; it brought it back with a serious attitude and a wardrobe to match. With 44 recorded colors, Dodge really went for it, offering everything from the "stealth mode" of Cool Vanilla and Magnesium Pearl to the "look at me" screaming neon of Sublime Green and Plum Crazy. Whether you're driving a Hemi Orange beast or a Silver Steel Metallic sleeper, the Magnum was designed to make a statement in every lane of the grocery store parking lot.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-digit code, usually sitting right next to the "PNT" prefix-that's your golden ticket to a match. Now, for the reality check: the Magnum has a face like a freight train, which means that big, vertical front bumper and hood catch rocks like a catcher's mitt. You'll also want to keep an eye on the edges of the roof and door handles; the clear coat from this era can sometimes get a little "tired" and start to bubble or peel. If you see a small chip starting to lift at the edges, it's time to jump in before that tiny spot decides to invite its friends over.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Magnum colors-like Inferno Red or Deep Water Blue-rely on heavy pearl and metallic flakes, you need to be the "human paint mixer." Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should be tired) to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint with your brush or pen, think "thin and patient." It's much better to apply two or three light layers to build the color up to the surface rather than dropping one giant, gloopy mountain of paint that will take forever to dry. Seal those edges well, and you'll stop that "Dodge peel" right in its tracks.
