Dodge Stratus Coupe Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Dodge really leaned into the "early 2000s energy" with the Stratus Coupe, giving us a palette of 14 different flavors. We aren't just talking about standard grays here-they went for it with names like Radiant Fire, the surprisingly classy Caffe Latte Metallic, and the mood-ring vibes of Deep Evergreen Pearl. Whether you're rocking the Ice Silver Metallic or the ultra-bright Satin White Pri Metallic, your car was designed to be noticed in a mall parking lot, and we're going to keep it that way.

What to Watch For

Now, here's the inside scoop: your Stratus Coupe is actually a bit of a secret agent-it was built by Mitsubishi. Because of that, the paint behaves a little differently than a standard Dodge. You'll want to keep a close eye on the roof, trunk lid, and the tops of the door handles. This era of paint is known for "sunburn," where the clear top layer starts to get a bit flaky or chalky. If you see white splotches starting to form, it's time to get that touch-up paint moving before the color underneath starts to fade.

To find your specific color match, don't just look in the usual spots. While some have a sticker on the driver's side door jamb, many Coupes hide their identity on a small metal plate located on the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Look for a three-digit code-it's the DNA of your car's look.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Deep Blue Pearl and Dark Titanium Gray-are packed with "Pearl" and "Metallic" flakes, they have a habit of settling at the bottom of the bottle while they sit on your shelf. Give your touch-up pen or brush a vigorous shake for a full 60 seconds. You want to wake up those tiny sparkles so they distribute evenly. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Two or three light dabs will look much better than one big glob that stands out like a sore thumb. Let the paint do the work!
