Plymouth Scamp Touch Up Paint (45 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Plymouth didn't just give us a car with the Scamp; they gave us a 45-color palette that proves they weren't afraid of a little flair. Whether you're rocking the deep Garnet Pearl Metallic, the flashy Gold Dust Metallic, or the unapologetically bold Graphic Red, it's clear they really went for it. With 45 recorded shades ranging from earthy Sable Brown to the futuristic Radiant Silver Metallic, your Scamp was designed to stand out, whether it's the classic 70s hardtop or the rare 80s "trucklet."

What to Watch For

The Scamp lived through an era of "experimental" paint chemistry. If you notice the paint on your hood or roof looking a bit thirsty or even starting to lift like a bad sunburn, don't panic-that's just the classic Chrysler "delamination" of the early '80s. Before you start dabbing, you need to find your 3-character paint code. On the older models, look for a small metal "fender tag" screwed onto the driver's side inner fender under the hood. For the later trucklet versions, check the driver's side door jamb or the radiator support. Keep a close eye on the wheel arches and the bottom of the tailgate; those are the spots where road grit loves to invite rust to the party.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Scamp colors are Pearl or Metallic, your touch-up bottle is basically a tiny snow globe of sparkle. Those metallic flakes love to sink to the bottom, so shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up the pigment. When you're using a brush or pen, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big glob that looks like a grape, apply two or three light layers, letting it dry for 15 minutes in between. This helps the metallic bits lay down flat so your repair catches the light just like the rest of the car.
