COLOR CODE695/1695 - Classic YellowChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You have a rare bird on your hands. This shade was a short-lived exclusive for the 2005 Crossfire roadster, making it a true collector's detail that you will not see on every street corner. Unlike the neon yellows found on modern hatchbacks, this is a creamy, retro color that complements the German-engineered lines of your convertible. Since your car has likely spent nearly twenty years on the road, your touch-up work will help restore the depth that makes this limited-run color stand out in the sun.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means there are no metallic flakes or pearl effects to manage. Solid colors are honest; they provide a deep, consistent hue, but they are also less forgiving of surface dust or debris. Without flakes to hide behind, any imperfections in your preparation will show up in the final result. You should focus on thin, even layers to avoid heavy buildup, as solid yellow can look slightly darker if it pools in one spot.

Best Practices

Work in a clean garage or in the shade to keep the surface cool and free of dust. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Classic Yellow (check for code 695/1695), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to properly mix the pigments. You can find your paint code on the driver-side door jamb or on the radiator support under the hood. Test the color on the included card to see how the fresh paint matches the aged finish of your car. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the paint stays level. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the color from sagging or running.
