2000 Plymouth Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Plymouth Vibe

Welcome to the year 2000, where everyone was worried about computers crashing and we were all obsessed with making cars look like high-end kitchen appliances. This was the final sunset for Plymouth, and they spent it trying to bridge the gap between the grocery-getting Voyager and the retro-future experiment known as the Prowler. We've curated our database to focus on the survivors-the four heavy-hitter colors that actually made it through the car wash of history. Silver was the undisputed king of the Y2K tech boom, but if you wanted to stand out in the Neon or Breeze, you were probably sporting that flashy Inferno Red Pearl Tricoat.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real about the health of this era's finish. We are squarely in the "Peeling Era." Back then, the factory clear coat was like a bad sunburn-it looked fine until it didn't, and then it started shedding in giant, flaky sheets. If your Plymouth has spent twenty-odd years parked in the driveway, you're likely dealing with delamination. This is when the clear coat loses its grip on the base color because the UV bond was never as strong as it should have been. It usually starts on the roof or the hood, and once air gets under that clear, it's a one-way trip to a full repaint if you don't catch it early.

Restoration Tip

If you still have clear coat left to save, you need to treat every rock chip like an emergency. Don't just dab it with a toothpick and walk away; you need to make sure the edges of the original clear are sealed down tight. If moisture gets into that "layer cake" between the color and the clear, it'll start tunneling, and the clear will lift away from the metal faster than you can say "Y2K." Use a high-quality solvent to clean the area, fill the chip, and bridge the gap to the original clear coat to keep the seal intact. You aren't just fixing a spot; you're holding back the tide.
