Plymouth Van Touch Up Paint (45 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Plymouth may have been the king of the suburban driveway, and they certainly didn't hold back on the palette. With 45 recorded colors, they gave us everything from the disco-adjacent Gold Dust Metallic to the surprisingly classy Mink Brown Pearl Metallic and the quintessential Radiant Silver Metallic. Whether your van is a "Woody" special or a solid-tone cruiser, Plymouth really leaned into the metallic and pearl finishes to make sure your grocery getter looked like a million bucks (or at least a very shiny ten thousand).

What to Watch For

Now, let's be real: those 90s and early 2000s clear coats had a bit of a commitment issue. You'll likely see the finish starting to get "cloudy" or flake away on the hood and roof where the sun beats down the hardest. Before you start dabbing on paint, you need to find your secret handshake-the paint code. On a Plymouth Van, pop the hood and look at the strut towers (those metal mounds the shocks bolt into) or the firewall behind the engine. It's usually a three-digit code like "PD8" or "PB7." If it's not there, check the driver's side door jamb sticker. These vans are big, but finding that little code makes the whole job smaller.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic," they have tiny flakes of mica or aluminum floating in the liquid. These flakes are lazy-they like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. If you're using a touch-up pen or brush, shake that bottle for a full two minutes. I'm talking "maraca solo" energy. This wakes up those sparkles so they actually show up on your van instead of staying stuck in the tube. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." Two or three light coats will look like a professional repair, whereas one giant glob will look like a grape stuck to the side of your door.
