2005 Plymouth Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The 2005 Plymouth Vibe

By 2005, the automotive world was obsessed with looking "high-tech," which translated to a sea of silver and complex pearls. Whether you were piloting a Neon to your first real job or hauling the whole neighborhood in a Voyager, you were likely draped in one of these nine survivors. This was the era of the "Xirallic" sparkle-colors like Inferno Red Pearl Tricoat and Magnesium Pearl weren't just paint; they were a statement that you'd arrived in the new millennium. We've kept the best of that era alive in our database, from the crisp Stone White to the deep, moody Midnight Blue Pearl.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Peeling Era. In 2005, manufacturers were perfecting the two-stage basecoat/clearcoat system, but the sun had other plans. If your Plymouth has spent its life outside, you're likely intimately familiar with "sunburn"-that white, flaky delamination where the clear coat decides to part ways with the color underneath. Once that bond breaks on the roof or the hood, it's a one-way trip to a total respray. The clear on these mid-2000s Mopars was often applied thin to keep the lines sharp, making them vulnerable to UV assault and "edge-pull" where the paint thins out around the door handles and gutters.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a stone chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an invitation for disaster. If air and moisture get tucked under the edge of a chip, they'll start tunneling, causing the clear coat to lift and peel in sheets. Seal your chips immediately. Even if you aren't ready for a full correction, getting a dab of fresh paint into that crater seals the "sandwich" of layers and prevents the surrounding clear from delaminating. Think of it like a seal on a windshield crack-stop the spread before the whole panel turns into a giant, flaky mess.
