Your Paint Color Profile

Y-4 (1969) - Classic Gold Poly

The Look

You are working with a hallmark of the "Fuselage" era. This shade defined the massive, curved silhouettes of the 1969 lineup, from the sleek performance of the Charger and Road Runner to the luxury of the New Yorker. It is a sophisticated, mid-tone gold that feels substantial without being gaudy. Because your car has likely seen decades of sun and road wear, the original finish might have shifted toward a slightly flatter or lighter hue than when it first left the factory. This gold acts as a mirror for the era, reflecting a time when Chrysler dominated the road with sheer scale and presence.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which Chrysler originally designated as a Polychromatic or "Poly" paint. These tiny metallic flakes are what give the color its depth, but they require a steady hand. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and cluster, creating dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. To avoid this, you must maintain a consistent flow and keep the container moving across the repair area. Since metallics are sensitive to how the light hits them, getting the flake to lay down flat is the secret to making the repair disappear into the surrounding panels.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Classic Gold Poly (check for code Y-4 (1969)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find this code stamped on the metal fender tag, which is usually screwed to the driver's side inner fender well inside the engine bay. Since the metal flakes in gold paint are heavy and settle quickly, shaking is the only way to ensure the color matches the rest of the car. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how the gold looks once it dries. If you are working in a garage or the shade, ensure you have plenty of light to see the flake orientation. Apply thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between each pass to prevent the metallic particles from sagging or shifting.

ensuring the right match

Find your Chrysler paint 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.
