Plymouth Laser Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Plymouth Laser didn't just show up to the 90s party; it brought the confetti. Plymouth recorded 29 colors for this sporty DSM classic, ranging from the business-casual Palermo Gray Metallic to the "look at me" energy of San Marino Yellow and Bright Turquoise Metallic. They really went for it with the names, too-you aren't just driving a red car; you're rocking Radiant Fire or Raspberry Red Metallic. Whether yours is a subtle Lamp Black or the rare Rose Mist Metallic, these colors were designed to pop under streetlights.
What to Watch For
Since these cars were born in the early 90s, they often suffer from "bald spot syndrome"-also known as clear coat delamination. You'll likely see the paint starting to flake or peel on the flat surfaces like the hood, roof, and the top of that iconic hatch. If you have one of the many reds, like Flash Red, keep an eye out for "pink-out," where the sun turns your vibrant sports car into a pastel memory.
To find your specific color code, pop the hood and look at the center of the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). If it's not there, check the driver's side door jamb or the radiator support. Most Laser codes are three digits-just look for the label that says "PAINT" or "COLOR."
Driveway Repair Tip
Many of these Laser shades-like Fiji Blue Metallic or Rose Mist-are packed with metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle while sitting on your shelf. Before you touch up that door ding, shake your paint pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds after you hear the mixing ball start to rattle. This "wakes up" the sparkles so they don't all clump together in one spot. When applying, remember: two thin, whisper-light coats are always better than one big, gloppy mountain of paint. Patience is your best tool here!
