COLOR CODETT-1 (1960) - Daytona SandChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your Chrysler has survived over six decades of road life, the original finish has likely shifted toward a warmer, more muted tone. This color is a dignified, solid beige that served as the quiet alternative to the wilder pastels of the 1960 lineup. It was a sophisticated choice for the Windsor and New Yorker models, designed to look expensive without being loud. While it lacks the flash of a metallic, it is a champion at hiding road dust and grime, making it one of the most practical vintage shades to maintain in a real-world garage.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your repair much simpler than a metallic job. You do not have to worry about flakes standing up or laying down unevenly, which often causes dark spots or stripes. The risk here is film thickness. Solid tan pigments are heavy, and if you apply the paint too thick in one pass, the color can appear slightly darker than intended. Because there is no sparkle to hide imperfections, your surface prep must be clean. Any dust or grit left on the panel will be magnified once the beige levels out.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the metal data plate located on the driver side cowl, just under the hood near the windshield wipers. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Daytona Sand (check for code TT-1 (1960)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card first to see how well it matches the current state of your car. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging. Allow for plenty of drying time between light coats to build a finish that looks like it came straight from the factory.
