Eagle Eagle Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Eagle really went for it back in the day, recording a massive 64 colors for a brand that was only with us for a literal heartbeat. We aren't just talking about your standard grays; they gave us gems like Polo Green Pearl, the surprisingly bold Pink Frost Metallic, and the "I'm-definitely-from-the-90s" Wild Berry Pearl Metallic. Whether you're driving a Talon or a Vision, they made sure you had enough metallic flake to be seen from space.
What to Watch For
Finding your paint code on an Eagle can feel like a scavenger hunt. Start by checking the driver's side door jamb, but don't be surprised if it's missing. If it's not there, pop the hood-Eagle loved hiding those metal tags on the firewall or right on the radiator support. As for the paint itself, these cars are famous for "sunburn." The clear coat on the hood and roof tends to get brittle and flake off over time. If you see white, chalky spots starting to form, it's time to step in before the metal underneath gets ideas about turning into rust.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these Eagle colors are pearls or heavy metallics, your biggest challenge isn't the color-it's the "settle." Those tiny sparkly bits weigh more than the paint and sink to the bottom of your touch-up bottle. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-yes, set a timer-to wake up the flakes. When applying, avoid the "one big glob" method. Use the tip of your brush to place a tiny dot in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the color looks a little dark at first, don't panic; those metallics require patience and a steady hand to lay down correctly as they dry.
