Dodge Nitro Touch Up Paint (38 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Dodge didn't hold back with the Nitro, giving us a massive library of 38 colors for a SUV that looks like a toaster that spent the summer lifting weights. They really went for it with the "shout-it-from-the-rooftops" palette-we're talking high-impact shades like Hemi Orange Pearl, Detonator Yellow, and the deep, moody Blackberry Pearl. Whether you're rocking the classic Bright Silver Metallic or the bold Mango Tango Pearl, your Nitro was designed to be seen, not to blend into the background.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing paint, you need to find your "P" code. Open the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb; you're looking for a three-digit code that usually starts with a 'P' (like PS2 or PW7). Because the Nitro has the aerodynamics of a brick wall, that vertical front end and flat hood are absolute magnets for rock chips. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little tired on the roof or hood where the sun beats down. If you see any bubbling around the door handles, don't panic-it's a common quirk, but it's nothing a little patience and a steady hand can't improve.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of those gorgeous pearls like Blaze Red Crystal Pearl or Deep Water Blue, you have to be the human equivalent of a paint mixer. Shake that touch-up bottle or spray can for at least two full minutes-set a timer on your phone if you have to. Those metallic flakes and pearl pigments love to settle at the bottom, and you need them floating evenly to get that sparkle back. When you apply the paint, think "less is more." Use the tiny brush or a toothpick to build up the color in thin, light layers. It requires a little more patience than just globbing it on, but your driveway results will look miles better for it.
