Your Paint Color Profile

H4 - Dark Cocoa Metallic

The Look

Pure 1976. This is the ultimate earth tone. It isn't just brown; it is a deep, coffee-heavy statement. It grounds the space-age glass of a Pacer and adds weight to a chopped Gremlin tail. It hides road film like a pro. This color defines a specific era of American design. It's bold. It's thick. It's 1970s soul.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. The mix is dense with flakes. If you apply it too heavy in one spot, the metal particles will bunch up and create dark clouds. It is sensitive. You need even layers to keep the reflection consistent across the panel. If the flakes don't lay flat, the color will look different from every angle. Consistency is your only friend here.

Best Practices

Look for your ID tag on the radiator support or the driver's side door pillar. It might be hidden under some engine grease. Before you spray or dab AMC Dark Cocoa Metallic (check for code H4), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The heavy metal bits sink to the bottom quickly. Test the color on the included card first. Keep the container moving to prevent the flakes from pooling. Give it enough drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays level.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your AMC's Color Code

AMC paint codes are hidden on top of the radiator support; engine grease and oil often make them impossible to read. Typical format is BS/GBS; only the BS portion is the color code. It can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc. The first letter is the Year Code, which makes color codes confusing. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately AMC lists codes as BS. AMC has many two tone combos on some cars and often omitted the secondary color information.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
