Your Paint Color Profile

DX8/DT4014 - Black

The Look

This is a workhorse black found on the 1987 vans that hauled families through the late eighties. Since your van has been on the road for decades, this deep, non-metallic shade likely shows every scratch it has earned. It is a classic, no-nonsense color that prioritizes utility over flash, providing a deep, obsidian look when it is clean and polished.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means there are no metallic flakes or pearls to hide behind. While that makes matching the pigment simpler, solid black is unforgiving because it highlights every ripple in the metal and every speck of dust in your garage. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Black (check for code DX8/DT4014), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Because there is no sparkle to mask your work, your surface preparation needs to be thorough or the repair will stand out against the original panels.

Best Practices

You can find your identification plate on the driver's side door jamb or occasionally on the radiator support under the hood. To get a smooth finish, keep the container moving in steady passes rather than hovering over one spot. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered paint. Black absorbs heat, so make sure the metal is cool to the touch and work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast and leaving a rough texture. Allow for plenty of drying time between your light layers to build a uniform surface.

How to Find Your Chrysler's Color Code

Chrysler paint codes can be difficult to find. In the good old days, they were on top of the radiator support, often hidden under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc., with the first letter as a confusing "Year Code." BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code.

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.
