1999 Plymouth Touch Up Paint (32 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Plymouth Vibe

Welcome to 1999, the year we were all collectively holding our breath for Y2K while the Plymouth Prowler was busy looking like it drove straight out of a hot rodder's fever dream. While the Voyager was doing the heavy lifting at soccer practice and the Neon was the scrappy underdog of the local strip, Plymouth's color palette was leaning into the turn of the millennium. We've dialed in the four shades that really defined the end of the line: the depth of Black Crystal, the ubiquitous Bright Silver Metallic, the flashy Inferno Red Pearl Tricoat, and the honest, hardworking Stone White. It was a time when "metallic" meant you'd arrived, and "pearl" meant you paid a little extra to stand out in the mall parking lot.

Paint Health Check

If you're looking at an original '99 Plymouth today, you're likely staring at the poster child for "The Peeling Era." This was the height of delamination. Back then, the factory clear coats were getting better at shine but were still struggling with a "bad divorce" from the base coat. You've seen it: the roof and hood start looking like a nasty sunburn where the clear coat just flakes off in white sheets, leaving the color underneath exposed and vulnerable. Once that UV-protective clear layer fails, the sun starts eating your Inferno Red for breakfast. If your clear coat is still intact, consider yourself lucky-or a very dedicated garage-dweller.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a tiny rock chip isn't just a cosmetic annoyance; it's an invitation for disaster. Think of a chip as a perforated edge on a sheet of stamps-once air and moisture get under that clear coat, it's only a matter of time before the "Peel" starts spreading like a wildfire. **Therefore, your absolute priority is to seal chips immediately.** Don't wait until the weekend. Use a precision touch-up to fill the crater and, more importantly, lock down the edges of the surrounding clear coat. By sealing the perimeter of the damage, you're effectively "gluing" the layers back together and stopping the delamination before it turns your hood into a flaking mess.
