Dodge Stealth Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Dodge really leaned into the 90s "space-age" aesthetic with the Stealth, offering a whopping 19 different colors. They definitely went for it-ranging from the iconic Bright Turquoise Metallic to the sophisticated Champagne Yellow Tri-Coat Pearl and even Peacock Green. Whether you have a base model or the twin-turbo R/T, these colors were designed to turn heads, even if they've picked up a few "battle scars" from the road over the last few decades.
What to Watch For
First, let's find your ID. Your paint code is usually hiding on a metal plate on the driver's door jamb or tucked away under the hood on the radiator support or firewall. Look for a three-digit code (it might have a letter like 'P' or 'Q' in front of it, like PRH for Scarlet Red).
Keep a close eye on the hood and the pop-up headlight covers; these leading edges take a beating from road debris. Also, if you're rocking one of the classic Red or Lamp Black shades, you might notice they look a bit "thirsty" or dull compared to the rest of the car. Don't worry-they aren't failing; they just need a little extra love to bring back that 1991 showroom glow.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Stealth colors are Pearls or Metallics (like that gorgeous Kutani Red Pearl), the "secret sauce" is in the shake. Those tiny mica flakes that give the paint its depth love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles.
When applying, remember: patience beats thickness. Instead of one giant glob to fill a chip, dab on two or three thin layers, letting each one dry for about 15 minutes. This keeps the color from looking too dark and ensures those metallic flakes lay down flat and shiny, just like the factory intended.
