TW2 (1980) - Bravo White Chrysler Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade comes from a pivotal year for Chrysler, appearing on everything from the sophisticated LeBaron to the rugged utility vans. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over four decades, this white has likely developed a character of its own. It is a clean, honest color that lacks the complexity of modern pearls, making it a perfect match for the boxy, confident lines of the early eighties. While it is a bright choice, be aware that a solid white like this acts as a spotlight for road grime and iron deposits. It will definitely require regular attention to keep that crisp look.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you are dealing with pure pigment without any metallic flakes or pearl additives. The benefit here is that you do not have to worry about the color looking different from various angles, a common headache with silvers. However, the lack of shimmer means this paint hides nothing. If your surface has tiny ripples or poor sanding marks, the flat white reflection will point them out to anyone walking by. Because your original paint has likely faded since 1980, the new application might look slightly brighter at first, but it will settle in as it cures.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code stamped onto the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender well or on a sticker inside the driver side door pillar. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Bravo White (check for code TW2 (1980)), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the heavy white pigments are evenly distributed. Test the color on the included card rather than the car itself to see how the hue compares to your aged finish. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid buildup, and allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging.
